Fire Engines Photos

Actfb has six of these beautiful g93ml mark 4 pumpers. Which one is this (bravo-call sign and registration number)?

Added by Martien Dral on 16 October 2007.

Martien, I'm guessing that the pumper I photgraphed at the time is either bravo 2, from the Ainslie fire station or bravo 1 from the Fyshwick fire station. -I haven't got the details of the registration number.

Angelo,
Thanks for your picture and information. Do you have more pictures of the Scanias of ACTFB or ACT Bush Fire Council?

I've managed to find a photo I took of an ACT Rural Fire council tanker and an old ACTFB International ACCO pumper. Im wondering what happened to the first new Scania pumper which was purchased by the ACTFB back in 1999. It had the same rear compartments as the early G93ML models.

That first ACTFB pumper on the newer Scania P94DB-chassis, with 260 HP, was built in 1998 by AFC. It got rego number 208202. Today it is in service as Bravo 6 at the West Belconnen fire station, in the Charnwood district of Canberra.

Thanks for that info Martien. I thought it was replaced or something -I've never seen it around lately.

Just as a point of interest. The Australian Army uses the same appliance. Almost exact copies of the ACTFB vehicles, even the same color and markings.

Those Scania pumpers of the Aussie Army and ACTFB are indeed hard to distinguish when you see them at their front and at their left-hand side. But their bodyworks are clearly different on the back side (there the Army-pumpers have 2 rolling shutters, those of ACTFB have 3). And on the right-hand side the Army-pumpers were built with only 1 rolling shutter, those of ACTFB got 2.

Does anyone have any pics of the Australian Army Fire Trucks?

Added by Steve on 10 June 2009.

I have, but all these pics were made by other photographers. So I am not at liberty to publish those pics.
Several pics were published on Internet before. For instance by Steven Schueler on the ozfire.org forum. But that Australian website is 'members only'. May be Steven will publish some of his pics of Ozzie Army Fire Scania's on www.fire-engine-photos.com as well?
Besides, you can have a look at the pics of those Scania's published in 2006 by Peter Kane in the collection 'fire trucks' on the website gallery38933.fotopic.net.
