    Awsome water crossing

    I came across this video of a fire truck going thru the floodwaters in Eltham. They didn't stop for anything!

    Thought it might be of interest.

    The driver obviously is not looking for a lengthy career in the CFA, I'm guessing he his going to be cleaning and polishing equipment for a long long time once management sees this. what a hero

    The bow wave is deceptive.

    Says a lot about diesels and deep water, good thing it has a raised air intake in the air pocket behind the cab.

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    The CFA management needs to look closer at that truck. It says Research on the side, he was doing just that !!
