Re: W.A Fire Appliances

As for the pump just make sure the throttle is cracked a little bit all the time. Any special reason for this Helitak? The pump and motor have changed too havent they. We are currently running a 9hp Briggs Vanguard and a Davey twin impeller pump. Am I right in saying that the new LTs use a Honda GX...

Re: W.A Fire Appliances

Well it sounds like our brigades Lt is getting replaced with a V8 one next week ( not sure if its a new one or just a exchange).

Re: Wallcliffe Bush Fire Brigade

couple of little questions...

What is the orange thing on the back of LT3 in the top picture? Are they bog mats or something?

Re: ABC news: FESA going to digital radio in the metro area

So probably a stupid question, but wouldn't having the metro area using digital waern and "rural" using analogue waern, wouldn't that add to the already poor communication on any fire grounds that they both attend? It would be hard to know where to draw the metro/country boundary I would h...
