Thanks Bomber,

Just out of Curiosity we now have HSR's, but I remember seeing a few years ago a LT pulling a rescue trailer.....is the HSR the replacement?

[bomber]

HSR have been around for awhile.They were originally called GPA which stood for general purpose appliance They hacve been renamed to HSR and the originals are at rockingham, armadale, mnundaring and there is a few i cant remember. Yes they are now replacing stations that have mazdas and trailers to rid stations of rescue trailers. So stations that have the mazdas will get a HSR issued instead

There is new photos on the site of the new style but the web link will take you to fesa photo of one

Both images that Bomber has posted have come through fine.

Many thanks to you Bomber

Right you are, Fesa site obviously didn't like my Proxy settings for Firefox!

Check out this thread which covers BRTs (big red trucks). The HSR is the second one down the page.

Aren't we getting of the subject of major fires here. I'm sure there is another thread that can be used such as appliances instead of this thread
