Re: New Appliances
i was next to the workshops when they delivered two new long wheel base toyota hiace vans. with the fesa stripping and badge on them. I assume this will be used as a PC. it was well over a month ago.
Re: New Appliances
i heard that they are building/built a new ICV. it is a similar design as the SET. Scannia tri-axel with like a slip on unit on the back.

The ICV should be operational in around a months time...
Belmont ICV crews are training on it at the moment...

Re: New Appliances

what gear do they have inside of there.
also being a scannia, it will get to incidents quickly. its pretty sad that Perth crews beat Belmont ICV to Armadale incidents. lol

Re: New Appliances
Belmont FS has Great Eastern Hwy and Abernethy Road...they're not the best for free flowing traffic at the best of times. Perth however has a number of options Guildford Road, Great Eastern, Freeway etc. Plus a big truck looks more intimidating in a rear view mirror than a little bus!

No not true - Belmont Fire Station is on Belmont Avenue just before Campbell & Fransisco Street - Opposite City Farmers.Tyranus wrote:Belmont FS has Great Eastern Hwy and Abernethy Road...they're not the best for free flowing traffic at the best of times.

Re: New Appliances
Ok so not abernethy...but Great Eastern Hwy isn't exactly the fastest moving road or the easiest to get out of the way on.

Re: New Appliances
I'm sure they have their way of getting through - and they wouldn't take GE hwy to get to Armadale, when you have Roe Hwy and Orrong RdTyranus wrote:Ok so not abernethy...but Great Eastern Hwy isn't exactly the fastest moving road or the easiest to get out of the way on.

Re: New Appliances
... and the most obvious reason being that the ICV doesnt tend to 'race' anywhere, putting lives at risk for the sake of getting a control point to the scene... the crews tend to apply a bit of common sense and depending on the incident, quite often dont go fire call...

Re: New Appliances
They must be doing road trials on the new ICV, witnessed it on Mitchell freeway, pulling away from the old ICV. Looks alot better and more 'funkier' than the old Toyota Coaster.
I've closed the door!
