Awesome pics

Does anyone know what the little glasshouse underneath in the photo is? I'm assuming the white ball like device is a flir?

I find I don't realise just how big the ARFF tenders are until you put them next to another truck. Awesome pic AO

Geelong by default, but only because Sydney didn't make it I reckon the All Blacks are looking pretty good in the RWC too.

Uncomfortable looking art *. Stick it in a gallery somewhere and everyone will be happy.

Now you just need one to interrupt ipods and other personal daydream devices.

Is it the truck or the pump/fire fittings that needs servicing? I'm by no means an expert but if I was stuck I'd do a ring around of the firebody builders if it was the pump, while the truck should be able to be serviced by any truck mechanic.

I'm hoping that the fact nobody has heard anything means it was injury free and those involved are only walking away with pictures and stories.

Repair wise I think its more likely they'll lift the firebody and drop it on a new truck.

Haven't seen those ones work but have seen others say "OVERHEIGHT"
