Building a new station
It has been over 8 years since we started a our Fire Brigade and at least 20 years since it was first proposed but at last we are underway with the construction of a fire station. The building will initially house our current old 4x4 wildland truck but we have also managed to be granted a new 4x4 wildland truck that is currently being custom built for us. Since we started in 2000 our various trucks have been housed at my home, at the local service station, in one end end of a residents shed, a… Continue

Please feel free to pass around my website details to anyone you think may be interested and I hope to receive a invitation from either yourself or another in NZ, ideally an invitation should be in the form of a letter on headed department paper, just makes things a little more official regards immigration etc.
Thanks and hope to hear from you.

Thankyou for your friends request it is a great pleasure to add a NZ fire fighter to my contacts. NZ is somewhere that I have always wanted to visit to photograph a fire department so if you think something can be set up reagrds this then please let me know and we can see what we can arrange.
Regards
Sean
What sort of support does that Rural Fire support give? And that foam traler! Bloody hell, 27,000 lpm? Our pumper is 3000 lpm, we'd need a Strike Team of pumpers to get anything out of that trailer!
We're hoping for some good rain through the rest of spring. Victoria is in about year ten of drought.
Interesting photos you've posted.The pumpers look very usable. The crew cab looks much larger than the ones we have on our Isuzu pumpers. Are the Mitsubishi fitted with a commercial cab or is it purpose built for the FRS?
Thanks for the comment, and welcome to FFN. We do quite a bit of Hazmat in my city (it's a research center with 1200 labs as well as Harvard and MIT universities). Usually we're busy enough to keep the boyz out of trouble LOL :o)

Oh, and I posted a short note in answer to your question. TCSS.
