The pump is MP69, the spare pump, so could be anyone. The 2.4 could be any of the 2.4 stations.

That makes more sense, but from the sounds of it, some SES personal had been suckered into flaking hoses, which really you shouldn't have been doing anyway.

Good tip on the rear beacons, in fact there are several clear differences between the rear of each of them.

That makes this one UT57 then... Which seems to be the latest of that series currently getting around Perth. Observed 54, 55, 56 , 57, and the new 79 when I was over for Christmas...

UT55 was retired due to corrosion issues in the chassis.

If it's in use, I think its already broken.. heard a tech called for what I think was Joondalup 2.4 @ Carramar.. no steering.

Im not trying to hurt the firies feelings or cause an argument but the fire brigade think ses are their slaves. Some of my unit got bs'ed into doing things such as rubish collection BIG not on in my books. N i have to tell ya, after my outrage it wont be happening again.
