Yea, I hear that to, they are in need of a better 24P and they deserve it.

24P · « **Reply #6 on:** December 08, 2006, 05:53:28 PM »

Would be good to see Seaford get the 24P, then they could possibly use their old one as a spare

5271rescue · « **Reply #7 on:** December 08, 2006, 06:05:20 PM »

you could send the 24p to naracoorte till we get our pumper back or till we get a new pumper.....

Some How I don't think the Barker Boys would like a 24p Over the Dennis, just seems a lil backwards if you ask me

Alan (Big Al) · « **Reply #12 on:** December 09, 2006, 01:32:51 PM »

What Barker need 3 pumpers now???(and don't give me that crap that a 24P isn't a pumper)What Barker needs is a QAV to back up the 24??

calspec · « **Reply #13 on:** December 09, 2006, 04:46:47 PM »

My money's on Seaford. But any brigade with an increasing urban risk that does not have a dual cab pump could be on a short list (IMO).

Barker handed their 24P to Littlehampton when they recieved the pump/rescue, I can't see them accepting a similar appliance back in replacement for their troublesome Dennis.

Either fix the Dennis (properly) or replace it with a comparable appliance (Type 2?). Even if that was to occur, they would still only have two pumps and a 24 rural.

Back to HVP, we get our first real play with it tonight with a special training session to be held. don't know wether it has been designated yet or still waiting for the signwriter.

Viva La Pumper.

Is Happy Valley 24P NA or Turbo?

calspec · « **Reply #15 on:** December 09, 2006, 06:29:12 PM »

That was entirely its problem. NO TURBO. Fine if you've got flat country to cover. Useless in steep urban streets that are pentiful in the Happy Valley/Chandlers Hill/Aberfoyle Park area. It's pump was only just passable for use in boosting jobs.

Camo · « **Reply #16 on:** December 09, 2006, 07:31:10 PM »

What about the new 34P's. Are the Pumps on those bigger?

calspec · « **Reply #17 on:** December 09, 2006, 07:51:21 PM »

I belive the pumps are the same. Darley HE500. This is in the 2005 specs as taken from Sept 05 Volunteer mag. 2006 spec may or may not be the same. 2 in/2 out arrangement also very limiting in urban fires.

Timbo · « **Reply #18 on:** December 10, 2006, 02:50:26 PM »

Pump specs are designed to be:

34P 3000Lt/Min
24P 2000Lt/Min

MrT

Scania_1 · « **Reply #19 on:** December 10, 2006, 02:59:16 PM »

I am pretty sure that the 34P`s are a Darley HE500 still, the 500 being gallons per minute. Which equates to about 1900 litres per minute. The type 2`s are 750gpm or 3000 litres per minute.

Designed to be?? Do you mean that is what it was meant to be able to produce in the outset when designing the trucks? If so they have failed terribly with pump choice..

Even the Type 2 (Designated Pumper) have a Rosenbauer NH30, putting out 2900Lt/Min at (I believe) 8 Bar.

So if the 24P / 34P were *meant* to be able to put out those figures, then they have had their pumps rather seriously downgraded since. I think the largest pump is a 500gpm darley on those appliances.
