Seen outside Fire Rescue Safety Australia (http://www.frsa.com.au) in Malaga. They use their appliances for training purposes. The non-FRSA marked appliance is not theirs (belongs to one of their clients) but happened to there. One of their two appliances was just back from helping out with training, the other is about to get air-conditioning installed so they can take it up north to do some training.

No, they're used in training such as on mine sites. They are a safety/fire equipment and service supply company.

although they would be unfamiliar with the equipment but think about it the company who owns them must have trained staff seeing as there training other people to fight fires

Nothing in there about training people, though if they're assisting you with those areas one would hope that at least a few of them have done that either in the mines or in the FRS/VFRS/SES. They may only have 2 that can actually put the wet stuff on the red stuff.

From one of the workers there, yes they are involved in training somehow. Dunno if FESA would request their attendance at incidents.
All three vehicles are ex Queensland FRS.

Do you reckon they actually use the vehicles for anything or are they just w@nk value?

All ex Qld as mentioned put out to mines on contractual basis or for private companies that do not want to purchase a fire appliance and require a fire & rescue presence.
