ACT Bushfire Service - HALL 20 (pre 1996)
ACT Bushfire Service Light Unit (Tanker)- HALL 20 (pre 1996 version)
Cab Chassis: Toyota Landcruiser 75 Series (1988)
Tank Capacity: 500 litres
Pump: Petrol Honda Firefighter (allowing pump and roll capability)
Foam: AFFF Induction System
Crew: 2 or 3
Call Sign: “Hall- Two- Zero”
Call Sign Description: Hall= Brigade Name- Two= Light Unit (Tanker)- Zero = Denotes First of that type in that brigade.
This is typical of the Light Unit (Tanker) used by the Australian Capital Territory Bushfire Service in the 1980s and 90s. All Light Units from this era were “Toyota White” with 1 red beacon with thin red/yellow/red reflective stripes. The fire fighting set up consisted of a steel 500 lt tank, steel hose reel with 25 m of rubber hose, 2 timber (yes timber) storage boxes and a small petrol driven pump.
In 1997 all ACT RFS light units began being converted to integrated aluminium tray/tank backs in order increase the water capacity and while reducing the weight of the vehicle.
The Hall Volunteer Bushfire Brigade (as it was called pre 1997) is situated on the N/W border region of the ACT and protects the village of Hall and surrounding farm land.
For other ACT RFS vehicles, see the FIREYOWIE album in the Visitors link.
