Thread: Show us your... FIRE TRUCK!

Now a tourer, but did time in Barrington Tops NSW with pumps etc mounted behind boxes. I'm currently drinking water from the original tank camped on KI!

Similar to this one I seen in Scone NSW in 2008.

We use an old Ford L/Ville as a water cart at our Quarry - it used to pull triples a looong time ago, but it's low gearing is very useful when it gets drafted in on fire fighting duties around the boundary (and beyond!)

barrington tops and scone are near me but the one I know is a single cab

Built it about 10 yrs ago when all our local brigade had was a pootrol with a little tank and a couple of slide ons.
Selectable 6x6 via two series T,boxes with a PTO pump driven from the second.
Load sharing rocker copied from my 6x6 ex perentie.
Trusty 2 1/4 diesel.
Only down side is its BIG turning circle

Scone on the door and Curra on the rear ?

Curra's about 110km from Scone ? but they do both fall under Liverpool Range control.

[edit] Just realised those photo's are out the back of Liverpool Range HQ at Willow Tree. I should have already driven past there this morning but I'm too busy downing my second latte

My 130 is ex NT BFC, IIRC based out of Tennant Ck but also did some time around The Alice.

Did it's three years/75,000km and once the lease was up, off to auction it went.

Ours -

Type 3 Medium Pumper



3.4D Tanker



We should be up for a new tanker soon as all the others in the area have gone to the crew cab design. A new pumper should be coming in the next couple of years - Scania Type 4 Heavy, due to the areas we support into.
