Oh we take the pumper shopping all time!

I saw Gawler 359 parked outside Coles yesterday.

Just filling their orders for denture paste, cat food and other essentials required for a retirement home..

SAFIREY where does he get off?? It all depends on where you live, in this big wide state. K99 may well be correct in his area, there are many instances of abuse of group vehicles that occur in different regions. And yes people do contact SOCC when a CFS vehicle is where it shouldn't be, but HQ does a good job of smoothing things over without the guilty party ever knowing a complaint was made.
It is for this very reason I support group vehicles being left in stations closest to the DGO's/ GO's home and they respond to collect the vehicle from there. Afterall captains don't get to take a firetruck home just because they stood for and got elected to the position of captain. There are many instances and stories of how protective some DGO's/DO's become of "their" vehicles. Sorry but its not "their" vehicle it is a group resource, meaning that they just get to utilize it, they don't own it.

More appliances! Its funny how I see a lot of CFS vehicles parked outside Woolies or picking the kids up at school.
Must be good having your vehicle and fuel etc paid by someone else.

What if this vehicle is a part of the drivers salary package? In almost every industry a vehicle is often part of their pay - why shouldn't they take it to the shops or to collect the kids? Sure it may not be used for CFS work right then, but a Regional Officer may need to go ASAP to a job, he/she shouldnt have to go home first to collect the car.

Good point Mr T, but unfortunately, staff members have very strict rules on the usage of CFS vehicles, and in the vast vast majority of cases private use is heavily restricted. And in the vast majority of cases the vehicle isn't included in their package, it's just a means of getting to and from work. Hope that clears that point up.

Now to return to our normal transmission and thread topic

wish some staff would park there work car in the drive way rather than on the foot path.........

Timbo · « **Reply #33 on:** October 05, 2006, 03:51:43 PM »

Why? - what difference does it make?

rescue5271 · « **Reply #34 on:** October 05, 2006, 03:59:04 PM »

In a small town when the council books the public for doing it and does not touch a car with red and blues on it does not look good....

SA Firey · « **Reply #35 on:** October 10, 2006, 10:59:44 AM »

The new Hino's are 240kw and a normally aspirated engine so it looks like the slugs return.....Thanks ARTHUR

Alan (Big Al) · « **Reply #36 on:** October 10, 2006, 04:00:44 PM »

Is it kw or Hp because i believe the turbo Isuzu's are 165kw or 220hp??

RescueHazmat · « **Reply #37 on:** October 10, 2006, 05:21:16 PM »

I don't believe it would be kW. - If it is, it would have to be from the crank.

You 100% on that? Cos i had heard they are turbo intercooled like the Izuzu's

I would find it strange that they arent either as this is Hino's matching model to the Izuzu so im told.

SA Firey · « **Reply #39 on:** October 10, 2006, 06:16:31 PM »

Not 100% on that only going by what ive heard, but trying to get more info and model of Hino to clarify for everyone

RescueHazmat · « **Reply #40 on:** October 10, 2006, 08:00:32 PM »

I think it is the Hino FT.

Which are Turbo / intercooled Diesel 6's.

Most likely due to weight / speed restrictions. (I believe there is a tonnage x speed restriction, someone with further knowledge may be able to better advise on this).

Which I believe emergency vehicles are exempt from in some areas when they meet various classifications...

Alan (Big Al) · « **Reply #45 on:** October 10, 2006, 11:09:45 PM »

I know that the current build of SES rescue truck which run the same motor as the Isuzu 34's (damn them so much less weight to carry

) and because they are under a certain weight theres no speed limiter and have been know to do 140kph (yes very illegal) whereas the 34-P's are limited until the beacons are on then the limiter is off??

Auto 34 that sounds interesting.

34P with constant all wheel drive is that a typo or are they for real??

That would be probaly because any truck over 9? tonne has to be speed limited. Even the old Hino's can get 110kph once there warm down a slight incline with a tail wind.

Darius · « **Reply #47 on:** October 11, 2006, 08:52:22 AM »

our old hino 24 can sit on 110 but we seem to have got a good one as on strike teams we can always pull away from the rest of the group.

That is what the article stated. Checked the Isuzu spec sheet at http://www.isuzu.com.au/assets_dynamic//specsheets/66_101057AM/FSS%20550_FTS%20750_ARK0135.pdf#search=%22isuzu%20fts%20750%20specifications%22 & it states....

"...Full time 4WD with driver activated centre differential lock...." (bottom of page 2)
