Tanker 349 Proven InvaluableIssued 9/12/2006Kurri Kurri Fire Brigades latest piece of fire fighting equipment The Isuzu FTS 700 4x4 water tanker has proven its self to be an invaluable asset to the community. Responding and utilised at over 40 incidents since mid September 2005 the tanker has responded to numerous bush, grass and car fires and was even used at a major house fire at Frame Drive Abermain. There has been a need for some time in the area for a four wheel drive vehicle with the large amount of urban bushland interface and rugged terrain, where previously tankers where called from either Cessnock or Maitland. The tanker has been successfully used to contain smaller fires before they had a chance to escalate, and gives the area much better fire protection. It has also been part of project Lucifer a joint initiative between the RFS, NSWFB, NPWS, Cessnock City Rangers and the NSW Police Service to help eradicate arson in the region.
