A mixture of station and appliance shots from Port & South Hedland:

Pilbara District Office in Port Hedland


This is Port Hedland Fire Station. Thanks to the Brigade Captain (who i believe is roodog???) who let me in to the station to take the pics and happily rolled out MP67 for the photos.










Port Hedland LT340


Port Hedland LT252 (thanks for the info roodog )


Port Hedland MP67 (The mysterious 'white rhino')






South Hedland Fire Station






Spotted this classic old Bedford appliance in a shed out the back of the South Hedland station. Sorry about the quality, it was taken through a fence and my old camera doesn't have optical zoom

Some great shots on all the threads.

Thanks for that a_e. The Port Hedland station looks very similar to Narrogin's (http://www.frsvols.asn.au/GSZone/GSNarrogin.jpg)

the landrover picture is LT252 which is being replaced next week, i will forward a photo once it arrives.

roodog - A big thank you for letting me take the photos (i hope you like them), and for taking the time to chat, and open up the doors, and get MP67 out... i'm sure our members appreciate your efforts

not a problem any time any members up our way and want to go for a ride or have a chat email me then i can give them contact number
john

thanks aunty and also john awesome pics

couple of questions

how did u manage to get the white pump???/ also what is the lt replacin the landrover?

chris

our replacement ligh tanker is a landcruiser single cab, i have been sent a photo of it but i find it hard to post it to the forum.

not sure what your asking, (how did we manage to get the white pump)
i think your asking why was Port Hedland allocated a white Scania Medium Pumper. let me know what you want to know and if i can i will give you the answer. the Scania details etc started a bit before i joined the Brigade.
cheers and Beers John

what i meant was how did u manage to get a white pump when every other pump is red...like fesa wouldve taken a bit of talking around??
have u ever heard of them taking the pump off you guys??

chris

MP67 was in the pipeline before i joined, i am led to believe that the then members asked if it could be white, the response from FESA was no problem, but there were others, elsewhere who voiced there opinion, i don,t want to get into a debate on this.
no i haven,t heard anything about FESA removing our Scania and i don,t think they will.
have a safe weekend all

Do many other VFRS stations share facilities with SES? Kalbarri FRS have one side of the building and SES the other (Fire to the left of the picture http://www.frsvols.asn.au/NZone/Kalbarri.htm and SES on the right which is cut off).

Well if the brigade does bush fires as well, like a bfb they have white trucks too, so there wouldn't be much of a problem?
