Victor is a tanker, mainly gets used at remote house fires, also comes with a tank so choppers can fill up off it.
I belive it has BA's on it too

There you go.

So if thats classified as a victor, what does the big water tanker at Caboolture come under?? I thought that was 528V (not that it ever gets used :sc)

[busterc]

We used it when a prescribed burn got out of hand at Closeburn last year to protect a house after the pool got emptied but weren't allowed to call it out a second time because it was too expensive so had to use Samfords rural tanker instead.....because it is free to use. And yes the big one at Caboolture is a Victor.

[Rohan]

well it would still be a victor if ur talkin bout the group tankers that they have in southeast and such?
im asuming that ur talikng bout the ones that look like a milk truck?

[D1cko]

Thanks for the pics. Up here I've heard 235 Victor on the radio, not very often though. If its the one I'm thinking of its a 4x4 truck, looks like a rural appliance but in red and much bigger than a 51. I'll try to get a pic next time I see it.

[coghilla]

cheers everyone

[qld_fire]

Depends on the area 674V is a 4000ish litre tanker with ba's
others i have seen has been a milk truck converted into a tanker in northcoast region.

More often than not it is used as a water source for fires often house fires or boush fires.
and also some have water bladders for helitack operation.

[D1cko]

This is 230 Victor, runs out of Stn 35 in Rockhampton.

Sorry to dig up an old thread,

I was listening to Firecom central and I heard a Zulu Zulu callsign. (Sorry I can't remember the station number)

Has anyone heard of a Zulu Zulu?

Was it Zulu Zulu 35 (for example? A two digit number afterwards??)

[jas27791]

I think it may have been mate, station 35 is Rockhampton, which I think, is the main one for the central region.

[Stretch]

ZZ is what gets used when an appliance is off the run. They either use ZZ or their fleet number.

[jas27791]

Ah rightio. Thanks for the clarification Mitch, I couldn't understand before why they would call it a "spare spare"

[Rohan]

thats good to know never heard that one before

[Stretch]

thats good to know never heard that one before

Yeah I've never heard it. In Brisbane, South West and South East (not sure of the others), if a vehicle goes offline, they will simply use the fleet number. Ie 640M off the run suddenly becomes fleet 499 mobile to station 31 etc.
