New Zealand Scania UI3936Taken during the 9/11 memorial in 2011, this 1996 P93M built by Lowes Industries was new to the fulltime Gisborne station. It then went to two volunteer brigades before making the unusual step in NZ fire appliance movements by being reallocated to the fulltime Christchurch City station where it was designated a pump rescue tender. It is now a relief appliance. In the background can be seen one of the many buildings in Christchurch affected by the over 7000 earthquakes experienced in the region since September 2010.
