City Of Swan's new Incident Control Vehicle

[BuddahFRS]

sorry my mistake

[treeny]

May not be 2nd hand, but it sure isn't brand new.
This is a brand new Iveco Daily.



This is a previous model.

Maybe it was a council transport vehicle. Like those community buses that can transport people in wheel chairs. My guess is that the council used to use it for something else then had it re-furb'd as an ICV.

[BuddahFRS]

yeah i would say that would be a good guess.

[donks]

that is a previous shape Iveco Daily, but that does not mean thats its an "old" vehicle....


++++Sorry.. did not see Treeny's post above...++++++++

If the new Swan ICV is now in service then it got a good workout today at the West Swan (Whiteman) fire.

I would assume even though some brigades in the country are volunteer, and perhaps are not as busy as career/metro stations that they too would need reliable / new equipment and not hand me down rubbish. Some of these areas don't have anything else for protection so I assume they would be maintained to the highest levels etc...

I hope.

Hey guys,

I did not realise that this would cause such a big debate.

But Treeny is spot on the money. The new ICV is an old City of Swan community transport van. Not sure how many K's it had on the clock but from memory it was a few.

[treeny]

I think it was a healthy debate. I think i started it when i said 2nd hand. hehe. and as fastlane said, some of the LP's with extra low kms on them are being refurbed for SES purposes. FESA threw a fair bit of money at the one that went to northshore.

And there are a few ex VFRS LP's and ex VFRS/FRS LT's at the FTC.

ICV stands for Incident Control Vehicle so yeah carry's like a heap of radio's phone line direct to coms fax machine and yeah pretty much anything they need to command an incident.

maps, battle boards (holds the T cards which have crew names etc. and is quite often pre sectorised), photocopiers, it's a mini mobile office essentially.

Not sure on night vision goggles, but HAZMAT contamination suits, probably also environmental monitoring tools to be used in conjunction with DEC. Plus other equipment which those who don't work on the vehicles know very little about. Oh and many BA cylinders, but we now digress from the topic of the ICV, there are plenty of pictures of the SET on the board, have a look at those, what you see there is what we know, most other stuff is guess work and assumptions.

but will look at the S.E.T piks
