🚒🚒🚒We have some exciting news!!! 🚒🚒🚒

You may have seen this appliance getting around Traralgon for a while now, we’ve been training and learning.

And we are happy to announce that Traralgon East Tanker 2 is now officially operational!

While at this time we will focus on using this as a tanker that carries 8000l of water in the near future it will be able to operate it’s Compressed Air Foam System or CAFS for short but more to come on that in the future!

In the interim we are proud to have this appliance in our fleet and service the community.
