A filtered Monkey could make better equipment then the scheiße that goes on the trucks these days, Yes I can understand some of the idea's the CFS are adopting to create more room (With those Break-Apart Tools), but if they where made good then yea we would probably use them but when you have a break apart broom that is either way to small or way to big, it makes it impossible to filtered use And that new Yellow 25mm is rubbish but I can see why the CFS wants Bright Fluro Yellow 25mm but get it made out of decent materials.

Stranger things have happened.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It has one, at times when I listen in on the Scanner I heard HV 34 come up on air along with HV24P. I guess they have been told to use those terms on the GRN instead of the Truck names so people don't get confused.

Thanks for that, I accually had heard from a mate at Corro Valley Station that Happy Valley responded to a call last week with Clarendon 24P and an Unnamed 34, which I am guessing is a Region Spare. Which I guess means Happy Valley's 34 is up at Clarendon Station.

Yeah but I just want to know who's Type 2 Pump is that badly broken that it had to be sent back to S.E.M for repairs.

I had just heard that one of the Type 2's had been sent back to SEM with a problem with it's Pumping System just not sure who's truck it was thought.

What would be interesting to know is if the CFS have ever investigated building other pumpers besides the type 2, which is tacked onto the end of the NSWFB order.

For interests sake - how much extra would it cost to tack on 4 or 5 pumpers to an SAMFS or MFB order, compared to the current type 2.

Basically none of these trucks are going to be perfect for every response area but maybe more suited then the current type 2 in areas such as Happy Valley, Morphettvale, Seaford, Salisbury, Dalkeith, Athelstone, Burnside.


Just to make sure im not confusing anyone - all im saying is maybe there is other pumpers available on the market that maybe more suited to those areas for similar costs rather then building an individual appliance for each brigade as we all know this is not cost effective or efficient for the service.

Nice how you put in 3 of the Mawson Group Stations in there and forget about Mt. Barker who also have a tendancy for trying to get better trucks Aka Dennis (LOL), I hear Seaford are having fun with that at the moment and just as a question I have been hearing that atleast one Type 2 Pumper got sent back to SEM with Major Problems with it's Computerised Pumping System can anyone give us more info on who and what exactly is happening with that.
