Country Pump

Busselton has recently taken delivery of a new breed of fire appliance called the urban country pumper and it has replaced the Mazda. The new appliance has been designed by 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 carries 1200 litres of water as well as 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.
