i think all the 12s are basically light pumpers (but better than a "p" rom memory), so not too bad for a busy urban group...

Your definitely right about having a huge station! I was there a while ago installing VHF radios and you could turn an appliance around IN the station.
Say G'day to Ashley T for us.

yeah, they have a high volume high pressure PTO driven pump on them. They live off of hydrants and make good pumpers. mechanically, they have they're moments, but so do all aging trucks. One great thing about them is their storage. well on ours we have(quick list)
2 BA chainsaw shovels, rakehoes etc driptorch 3 stage ladder knapsacks jerry cans 12(?) hoses of various sizes general tools 2 extinguishers couple of ropes foam
thats the basic list of stuff. overall, not too bad of a truck
heres stirling's, pretty much the same as ours, except they've got little locker up the top
