I spy with my little eye, Canning Vale has a new Pumper. Saw them on firecall turning onto Roe Hwy at Welleri drive.

Might go for a drive past the station this arvo and see if they hav got 2 pumps now or if they just changed over.

Will report on the outcome.

Yes you are right they do have a new pump. The real old heavy pumps are just about all replaced with new ones. These include Canning Vale, Fremantle 1st, Daglish 1st, Belmont, Bassendean, Perth 1st and Duncraig. Then the old medium pumps like Midland, armadale, wangara etc will be replaced.

It is going to be a nice sight seeing a new Perth 1st. The old one was getting a tad out of date.

You must not have seen it yet but it has been in service in perth for over 3 months now even longer

So with the New pumps does any one no where there new pupms are based at ??? and the new pumps are they the one with the gray fronting ???

thanks

As has been mentioned all the current Heavy Pumps are all new, the next stage is to start replacing Medium Pumps with Heavy Pumps, I believe Midland is slated as one of the first to be replaced as it was a prototype for the first lot of series 3 Medium Pumps, then other stations like Malaga, will have their's replaced.
Not sure whether the Heavy Rescues will be updated to Heavy Pumps. Would make sense but may not be justifiable as they're all fairly new as far as I'm aware.

Awww k

thanks for that but any of use have any piks of the new pumps as i have never see one

Cheers so that the new HP but with the gray fronting ?? Cause just went past and seen bassendean pump vey very flash i must say (HP24) <<< basso pump with alot of the white L.E.D lights Around the truck

As far as im aware, all new pumps, be it HP or MP have a grey front grill and the top half of the door is white.

will try and get a pic of the canning vale one soon, or one from o'connor.

Thanks Treeny

didnt no there was a link haha and i think BUTLER CFRS has the new truck as there a MP77

Grey plastic front indicates Series 4. Butler was probably one of the last MP's handed out.

Arrrr so it not one of the new ones and all pumps will be going to HP now it might been mentioned but i may of forgotton

if it's marked MP then no it's not a knew Heavy Pump, but it is a brand spanking new Medium Pump...well it was about 2 or 3 months ago anyway.

Confirming Butler Is a old MP
