Title: Kilburn fire
Post by: Hazmat206 on December 28, 2008, 08:30:27 PM: FOURTEEN new cars were destroyed in an $800,000 shed fire at Kilburn today.

Damage was caused to the cars and the Churchill Rd shed on the Advanced Plastic Recycling premises at Kilburn.
Another 78 cars which were inside the shed when the blaze began just after 4pm were saved.

Yes, it sure is. Might not be used as a relief pump much longer as the new bronto isn't far from coming online, making the current 2015 TRUCK the new relief/training aerial appliance :wink:
