Busselton has taken delivery of a new breed
of fire appliance called the urban country pumper and it has
replaced the Mazda. The new appliance
is designed in consultation with volunteers and fire and rescue
staff. It’s design is based on the Scania appliance used at
Perth Metro stations but has been adapted to requirements of
country towns that have more bush area’s. The appliance will
carry 1200 liters of water as well as carry rescue equipment and
breathing apparatus. More safety features are added such as louder
sirens and air horns together with much better safety lighting
both for highway use and perimeter lighting for night time
incidents.
