SA Firefighter

I would suggest that without getting to technical a "proper pumper" would obviously be an appliance classed as a pumper, that is used solely for that purpose, not for rescue as well as being a pumper, that it must be capable of utilising all booster systems in the area and is sufficient for the areas risk.

Why bother having an add that isn't from SA, it wont matter that it appears hard hitting to us vollies, how many non volunteer South Aussies are going to pay attention to an add with a British accent??

Skycrane and other aircraft have been used in the past to drop water on fires that are in/around houses have seen it before in NSW and in the states....

Yeah good idea lets use an aircraft that cost in excess of $2000 just to get off the ground to start fighting structure fires!! Please tell me you are not being serious!!!

The government providing appliances like this, good luck! The government have a hard enough time trying to understand what exactly it is that the CFS do, let alone being able to provide enough funding for what is actually required by the service in regards to replacement appliances, training, equipment and not to mention employing enough staff to actually provide volunteers with sufficient support during fires or the day to day running of the service.
