brand spanker hrt!!! looks sick probably hasnt even been to an incident yet
perth hrt side
the original hrts before all pumps carried cutters and spreaders, ths has a 5.8 351 under the hood and used to do freo to mandurah under firecall in 51 minutes YEAH!!!!
The Heavy Rescue vehicle is actually a medium pump with some extra gear carried on it - They did away with the dedicated HRT last year (or year before?) There is also one with the extra gear at Welshpool and another somewhere else..
there was 2 there one was perth 3rd and the other welshpool i think the 3rd is housed at freo and is fremantle 2nds turnout appliance i believe
also osbourne park is nor set and murdoch is sor
perth 2nds pump isnt very good ay pretty old but at leats they got a hell new hrt
it has hrt on the side....anlo i think it says like hrt 01 they also have a different shape to a normal medium pump as in a couple of extra lockers as well

Has MPHR on the front side.. Medium Pump Heavy Rescue. Someone posted that they spotted it flying up the freeway a few weeks ago.. it was also at the show on the first weekend for the vehicle rescue demo.

From what I understand (and I'll probably be shot down in flames if I am wrong) 1st means first turn-out, 2nd is 2nd turnout and 3rd is 3rd turnout. Volunteer F&RS brigades on their own don't have 1st, 2nd or 3rd as they are the only responders. Other brigades may be called to back up (they in effect would be 2nd). VF&RS brigades (like Mandurah) which have Career F&RS stations there would be 2nd while the CF&RS brigade would be 1st. Perth, maybe Freo, Daglish, Ossie Pk and Murdoch would have 3rd... most other CF&RS brigades would be 1st only or be 1st & 2nd.
Thanks WPXZBP. So 1st turn out would definately get hammered then over time if it were always first to head out. Would 2nd step up to 1st if that vehicle was retired from service? Seems simple enough.... Thanks for taking the time to explain it to me

Not sure. I do know that when Perth 1st are out and they get another call in their fire area, Perth 2nd are turned out.
