I don't think those uniforms meet the OH&S regs for Personal Protective Equipment and I think the fire beaters may be flammable!

Looks like they don't feed their personnel either, they are just skin and bones, poor loves

They looked OK to me

And PPE/PPC needs to be appropriate for the task

Two years ago it was on a regular drive and a page came over so it was first truck to the fire scene!! (grass fire rear yard...) made people wonder! It doesnt have pump or tank anymore its back to how it was originally, a hose carrier.

I spent a lot of time getting this back road registered and am a bit proud of the old girl. You may be able to tell!


oh... and with one of our "junior" vehicles (a 34).

We are a 4 unit station,
QRV (a toyota landcruiser 4wd ute vehicle)
RESCUE (a ford trader (1985) d/cab with large equip module on back...no water or pump is rescue (rcr/river/cliff/etc) and BA based
URP (a 4wd d/c truck with 2,000 tank and also carries rcr gear- is lower truck hence Urban Rural Pumper)
34 (a 3,000l, 4wd d/c isuzu truck, nice unit (but has self burn exhaust system that cuts in when it wants.. and can cripple truck if activates when enroute!!! hasnt happened yet to us.)
has 6 masks inside with oxy cylinder under seat for burnover etc if required. (god we hope it doesnt get needed)
