I think camo,you have to look at how much money that CFS is getting or not getting to have appliances built,you pay for what you get and if your not willing to open the book fully then you only get part of the appliances and not the whole appliance.Cfa have just had a budget of $100 Million for appliance replacement....

why the hell would you want a 4000lt or a 4wd pumper??when are people going to learn that a pumper is a urban appliances,lets face it there are lots of places in the hills that you can not get a pumper or any appliances other than a QA or a 14 near in the hills. I agree two HP lines mid mount pump is good as is a rear mount pump,crew cab,air con,......
May be CFS should do a booklet of what type appliances they are willing to let brigade's have like they do with fire stations...you select what your brigade needs...

Look this state could not afford a staff station every 10kms in high urban areas and lets face it when volunteers are willing and able to do the job and are better trained then paid time firefighters why would a state want to have staff stations... I have a video here that what is going on here in SA is the same as what the union did in Victoria many years ago and it backfired as in the end the new stations that CFA did open where staff/volunteer stations....

I did hear someone say that we will all be called MFS the other night not sure if he was joking??? But if MT BARKER are happy doing the number of calls they do and can get out the door what is the problem??? Just because there is large housing going up in the area does not mean an opening for MFS,if the current brigade can meet their requirements then good on then. Lets face it the MFS are having more problems getting some of their country brigade's out the door and that is why we are seeing a lot of dual respose from CFS at the moment....

Thats it all comes down to money and lets face it CFS does not have enough to replace its fleet that in some cases in need of replacing. TWO H/P lines are good rear mounted pumps where installed as they are easier to service or replace the pump if it dose not work... What ever Burnside get will be there baby,maybe they will get a type 2 body on a scania?

Camo,not sure if the union would agree to paid and volunteers in the one station like they have in CFA. Mind you not sure why CFS has not looked at having paid CFS staff and Volunteers in some of its stations.

Our stand alone rescue is not the issue here and one that should not come into this topic,we dont have back up RCR or HAZMAT brigade around the corner...If burnside get what they want then so be it..It just makes it hard when CFS are trying to finally have pumpers that are standard across the state.As for the comment that a type two is only good on flat ground urban areas well mate you have it wrong..NSW have type 2 pumpers in the BLUE MOUNTAINS and is there not one at eden hills??? Lat time I checked and not so long ago they where all going well in the hills...
