So which Brigades around the place have monitors? Either Ground or Roof mounted (No, not your tiny 38mm one - REAL monitors)
Do they get much work?
What nozzles do you carry for them?
Would they be a valuble investment for Brigades that do a fair amount of surround and drown? (EG: Hay Sheds)
Belair Tanker has a 3inch TFT which is plumbed straight of the top of the pump housing (Darley HE500). With 10000litres of water behind it make it a worthwhile option. Has a throw of around 60 metres (at 700kpa).
Points to remember with any large capacity monitor is you need a large water capacity to go with it!
burnside pumper, burnside tanker, stirling pumper.

2 out, 4 in ;)
Nice of you to use MY PHOTO James, ever heard of copyright :evil:
ouch :|
We fitted a rural monitor to our appliance, and it is used a fair bit of the time. Used to assist in flat land fire-fighting and is a great tool to put out stringy barks out in the National Parks etc.
Money well spent!!
Naracoorte pumper has a roof mounted monitor with a TFT has a 3inch feed but is only good in town and the 34 is unable to provide enough pressure to supply water too it. that is why they are getting a 34p with in the next year or so..The monitor can be removed for ground work / set up, has only been used twice that I know of once was for a gas leak while the Olympic torch was coming down the street....
so you squirted the Olympic torch with it?
No the brigade had the pumper set up spraying the large LPG bullet that is next to the fire station ....
OMG really? Didnt see that one coming! :-D
I thought it would have been safer and cheaper to just stop the cylinder leaking...
:P
