[quote="FiremansPole"][quote="bomber"]The v8 landcruiser is already planned so must have passed the plans. Transfield fire and rescue at garden island have already taken delivery of theres. This has upset a few as a private mob got one first.
Fesa tried patrols for there light tankers and this failed dismally. A patrol light tanker was issued to the kwinana vfrs and from what i can remember may have well been issued to workshops as thats how much time it spent there. It fell apart and couldnt handle teh punishment it got.
As for the 1.4, fesa have already stated through there vehicle commitee that there will be no metro frs either career or vol that will be issued with one. ( Kwinana vfrs have already tried to push this as a deal to lose there scania. They asked for a 3.4 and a 1.4 with rescue .).The idea behind te 1.4 with rescue is for country frs brigades only. What there idea for it is is to issue them to brigades that have big turn out areas. ie Roebourne. Instead of taking there main town appliance 100klms out of town for a t/a they will be also issue with the rescue 1.4 and respond with that. This would mean that the responding crew to teh T/A had both water and rescue gear, and wouldnt leave the town exposed as the main town appliance will still be there to cover.[/quote]
Mmm i cant see why Kwinana should loose such a good looking Scania
. Compared to other VFRS brigades theres is quite new.[/quote]
Because they are no longer a 1st response station with hope valley having a heavy. Could be better used wher it was suppose to go ( butler) and with there call rate taking a massive dive this year with hope valleys opening. Like it or hate it calls dictate what appliance you get.
