Question is...would CFS...and would they be happy lol.
Question is, do you know there is more to this firefighting business than Scanias and 'cool stuff'?
There is far more to building a truck than just "Wow, this looks good and everyone else uses it"
Anyway:
It's great to see that Burnside has pushed the envelope and has ended up with a very good looking piece of firefighting kit, that also happens to be functional! (Who'd have thought?) They even managed to move away from the old faithful "We all need Scanias" line of thinking.
Yeah, there are a few bits and pieces that I personally don't really like, but at the same time, there is no use getting into a shitfight about personal opinions, when the truck as a whole works well and is a monumental win for the CFS brigades and pumper design.
Any reason that the CFS still wont look into the full height rear end, like the CFA/MFB/NSWFB have dabbled with? It seems to allow a fair amount more stowage.
As I said, well done to Burnside, it has certainly shown the rest of the state what is achievable in terms of appliance design. If only we could all end up with such a shithot looking truck.
(Just don't tell anyone who used CoQ as a justification for the pumper that the thing still can't supply a Bronto
)
