This is the Newman Fire Station. (The sign writing really needs updating :lol: )

This old Mazda Light Pumper (LP131) was parked around the back. Couldn't see what other units they have.

This old beauty is on display at the Newman Tourist Centre as part of the Mining and Pastoral Museum.

Nice shots a_e. :D

Newman VFRS has:

Country Pumper (CP-12) Isuzu
Light Tanker (LT-286) Toyota Landcruiser

They have the regional spare appliances based there at times. That might be the LP you saw.

The big appliance is probably from the airport.

Has 'BHP Billiton Iron Ore' signage on the sides. I think it's an ex mine site unit.

so all of newman is protected only by a land cruiser and a light pumper? I feel sorry for the residents.. They need bigger/ newer stuff.
