    Who's smarter the Cops or CFA?

    The local cops drive a Patrol, the local CFA drive a Defender.
    Who's smarter?
    The cops drive on tarmac and on local gravel roads.
    The CFA drive on tarmac, gravel roads and Fire trails, so is the defender the more reliable vehicle? Safer as the fires approach, they can retreat in the knowledge their trusty stead will allow them to escape danger?

    I dunno, but nice to see a landy in fire truck red

    Over here we have defers, landcruisers and larger toyota d/cab vehs as our QAV/QRV/14's

    but we have defers as our bomb response vehicle, patrols for our starries, 100/200 series in the 'pit lands' and toyota troopies as our vehicles in hard country 1 man stations, general station (country) cages are colorado diesels with some slightly harder country having hilux d/c's....

    basically all fleet vehicles here are leased not owned so the rating (eg "luxury 200 series" ) dictates the cost of lease and therefore affordability, so who's smarter?

    Who ever goes home safe every time they go out I suppose...

    **EDIT
    QAV = quick attack vehicle (4wd response vehicle with less than 1000Ltr capacity)

    QRV = quick response vehicle (4wd response - up to 1000 ltr cap. - basically same as QRV)

    14 = this is using SA CFS numbering guidelines, first number is capacity of water carried (1 = 1,000) and second signifies 2 or 4 wheel drive.

    our 14 is a toyota landcruiser with 1000Ltr and basic other equipment.
    (REMLR 235/MVCA 9) 80" -'49.(RUST), -'50 & '52. (53-parts) 88" -57 s1, -'63 -s2a -GS x 2-"Horrie"-112-769, "Vet"-112-429(-Vietnam-PRE 1ATF '65) ('66, s2a-as UN CIVPOL), Hans '73- s3 109" '56 s1 x2 77- s3 van (gone)& '12- 110

    NSW only have autos across the fleet.

    No clutch replacement = cheaper.

    How much water can it carry? Biggest prob with the deefers is you have less than 10 seconds of water...
