Right now? No.
Then it looks like they may have changed appliances since you left, or otherwise my information is lacking from what is available on the public internet.

Kinda off topic but the website said the 2.4R was based on the DEC HD. I thought HDs where 3.4s and the gang trucks were 2.4s?

You are quite right :-) I'm used to the 3.4's in my old brigade - they look very similar!

Hi Guys,

Saw on Barrack Street this afternoon what looked like a longer version of a HSR Pump??

It was brand new - all in white with Clear Roof LED Lightbar with 2 FESA uniforms (one of which was driving). Had dealer plates on the back. All side and front LED emergency lights - Hose Reel and Pump section on the left hand side.

Looked impressive. It was following Perth 1st towards Northbridge - two front wheels and the rear had 4 (2 left and 2 right).

It does in deed. much bigger then the HSR S1 and HSR S2. for example there are 3 steps to get in the cab not 2.
