Title: Wish List!!!!
Post by: Alan (Big Al) on September 25, 2006, 12:29:07 AM
Just thought i'd start up something totally pointless.
What i wouldn't mind for my brigade and the chances of getting it.

Type 2 pumper- with some hard lobbying, maybe in the next couple years.

Fire Boat-(just something simple) I don't think so tim.

Some better RCR gear that doesn't breakdown so much. Unlikely.

 :-D :-D :-D :-D

Type 2?  Why not go all out for a Scania? That's what I'd have on my wishlist...
And a Bronto for cat up tree jobs... (Or have the SES taken them over now?)

A second set of RCR gear for our pumper would be nice one set on rescue is just not enough when your wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy out of town....A new pumper type 2 would be the icing on the cake with the on going problems with out pumper.

A type 2 for our urban coverage +RCR but I don't think many of our brigad wants that yet this is the wishlist. A 34p/24p for rural stuff and while we are at it a skyjet or something of the sort. And to house these we will need new station.

Maby swap the type 2 for a Scania or just it as well.

Its ok, we'll give you a yell when we need some manpower for filling sandbags.

All the Pumper love... I wish the CFS would build a PROPER Urban Appliance, maybe one with a decent mid mount multi stage pump.

Please? CFS? A whole heap of us do more than scrubbies...? Guys...?

There are also some laughable blues, but they carry guns and know how to use them, so I'll stick to laughing at the oranges.
