Fraser Fire and Rescue

Through The Lens Photography got a neat picture of Nuri Pumper and Tanunda CFS 34P yesterday at a rubbish truck fire.

Snapped in Waiouru last night on their way north

On their way, NT Type 5's

Tea Tree Gully took delivery of a new 24P today.

The new Tea Tree Gully 24P is based on a 2024 Isuzu FTS 150-260 chassis, is 4 x 4 and carries 2000 litres of water.

It is fitted with a six speed Allison transmission & Allison retarder.

Built by Fraser Fire and Rescue, it is fitted with a Deutz BF4L2011W motor / Darley HE500 pump.

It includes additional safety features to protect firefighters, including a halo system (water deluge system) and an in-cab breathing system.

The new heavy appliances also include air conditioning vents for the crews in the rear seats, as well as those travelling in the front of the cab.

This appliance includes a range of urban firefighting equipment, as well as a full set of Road Crash Rescue tools.

It comes fitted with an LED lights and an Engel fridge, and equipped with a Milwaulkee chainsaw, Milwaulkee quick cut saw, Ramfan Positive Pressure Ventilation (PPV) fan and a Tirfor winch.

It replaces the existing 7 year old Isuzu based Tea Tree Gully 34P, which will be refurbished and sent to another brigade.

Thanks Dean Norman for the photo.

Today marks the 25th anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks.

Almost 3,000 people lost their lives, including 343 firefighters who answered the call that morning.

MFS Adelaide crews paid their respects by holding their morning parade outside Adelaide Fire Station.

We honour the courage and sacrifice of all those who lost their lives, including the firefighters who have since died from illnesses linked to the attacks.

343 never forgotten.

Nuri Pumper on an alarm call awhile back.

A regular sight here in the Barossa valley. With many large wine storage and production facilities, us along with our other Northern Barossa CFS Group brigades respond to many alarms.
Usually accidentally set or sometimes malfunctioning, but you never know when a full scale emergency is unfolding.

Having a quick response, trained crews and specialist equipment like Nuri Pumper here, if the time comes. We are prepared.
