Just to put this to bed, I've attached a photo (not mine) of the type 2 pumper in question. Also that is what is on OMS.
Yankees are i zones but in different regions they are also called echos.
It is a rescue pumper but they wanted to designate it as a echo.

I'm pretty sure I know seeing as i look at the trucks every single Wednesday night. My list is accurate. Alpha Echo and the area spare!

I wouldn't call it a holiday, closer to mud wrestling !
I was tasked with them up there, nice bunch of guys and not a bad truck other that the left hand case1 is now arm-strong (manual) recovery.

Sorry you are right its call sign is 666E

i was up there today to have a look, its callsign is 666E but the lieutenant told me they use it as if its a barvo as it has RTC,BA and HazMat gear . He said it is 4WD but it ways about 14 tons so they don't use it as an echo.

i don't know why it is classed as an echo but will try and find out

Echos are echos as they are a 4x4 pump capible of supporting at a structural fire. SE region removed the izone canters from this callsign as the pump is for bushfire work only (limited capacity)

Post by **dmint3** » Thu Feb 21, 2013 4:25 pm

are there any other echos in SE region like 666E ??
