Re: W.A Fire Appliances
Does anyone know what the vehicle ID of 'RU' stand for (as in LT, CP, MPHR, HSR, CLP, SET etc, etc). The CFRS 1.4 that is currently with Dalington VBFB is designated 'RU 01', and i'm not familiar with what it stands for.

Re: W.A Fire Appliances

Re: W.A Fire Appliances
Yeah and to an extent I can see why some career fire fighters don't like it. They don't have anywhere near as much get up and go as the LT's, the turning circle leaves a lot to be desired. Better off going the whole way and getting either the 2.4 for Career, or 3.4/4.4 for BFS. I think there were too many trade-offs for an extra 400L of water, or whatever they have in the single cab truck...though the MDT they left in there was pretty cool...

Re: W.A Fire Appliances
Has Perth got one of these now? Saw one parked up at the station yesterday
I've closed the door!
Re: W.A Fire Appliances
Saw a Brand Spankin New Pump and Light Tanker for Kensington - at the Vic Park Shopping Centre - both look in mint condition - much better than the old pump & LT they had.
