This photo is nice.The Australia pumpers are quite nice in my view.But this appliance will look more nicer if the tyre rim is chrome or silver.

Medium pumpers are one of our main appliances. All red fire appliances are classed as part of the Fire and Rescue Service or FRS. They are not only based in Perth Metro. The Volunteer Fire and Rescue Service (VFRS) uses the same or similar form of truck. However their main heavier vehicle is an Urban 2.4 Tanker. Bigger regional cities such as Albany and Geraldton use Medium Pumpers, but they are of the older model. These regional cities have part VFRS and FRS stations. There are also Volunteer Bush Fire Brigades (VBFB) in the Metro area. Their main appliances are Light Tankers but bigger brigades have 1.4, 2.4, 3.4,4.4, 9.2 etc. The first digit, take the 9.2, represents the quantity of water in litres, and the second means how many wheel drive. Therefore 9.2 means 9000L and 2 wheel drive.
