Just swung past the park that they are having the 'Barbie in the Burbs' this evening and got the following pics (was overcast):

Is the hydraulic pump for the jaws etc pto driven or have a standalone petrol driven motor?

Behind the hydraulic hose reels is a silver screen. Behind that is a yellow frame which is for the ULP powered motor. It's portable. Hope that answers the question.

Yes fantastic. What are the two separate hose reels?

Generally one for cutter, one for spreader. They (cutters/spreaders) also can be disconnected so other things like rams, combi tools etc can be used.

Do they only have the four BA sets? Are there spare bottles?

I would presume so. A crew of six would mean OIC, pump operator (who also is the Entry Control Officer) and 4 in BA.

Oh and if you use the term "bottle" with BA, you pay a penalty - usually a carton. They are called cylinders. (Bottles have a seam running down the side where the BA cylinders do not.)

Oh we call them bottles at work. Even the instructors do. We use aluminium, fibre wrapped and old steel ones. Draeger units.

Lotsa cartons flying if they join VFRS or CFRS.

There has been a few VFRS vollies in our lot. We even had a couple of guys from FESA training centre come out and run a course for us. Do they go and train all the vollies too?

Might be a more appropriate thread for all this? This is a pictures thread... !

Ahhhh the categories have all gone out the window - its what the moderators want.

The FESA section is now the pictures of babies section.

The problem is more so people feeding the trolls.

I don't care if people talk about the pictures, its not off topic. Last I checked there were pictures of Fire Engines.

Call me old fashioned, but I would've thought its easier to ask all your questions in one post than use a forum like a person-to-person 'chat line'.. just look at how rediculous the Advance Life thread in the SJA section has gotten because of this!

Regardless, cool pictures yorky!

well i want the food where is it
