Fleet number –
Cab Chassis – Isuzu JCB
Body Builder –Bell Fire
Build Date: 1983 vehicle, Converted to Fire Tanker in 1992
Registration – BSN1195

Ex Kirup and Dunsborough Brigades in Busselton area, this Vehicle is now retired and in possession of the WABFB Association Historical Group.

Their website reads:

1983 Isuzu Tanker—built in 1992
This truck is an example of the first fire units that the State Government subsidised for Bush Fire Brigades. Commencing its life as a Westrail gang truck, it was purchased by the Bush Fires Board and sent to Bell Fire to be converted into a bush fire tanker. Designed with “off the shelf” parts for easy repairs out in the field, the vehicle carries 2700 litres of water and has a Stalker semi hi lift pump powered by a Holden motor. Stationed originally with the Dunsborough Bush Fire Brigade near Busselton, it was later used by the Kirup Bush Fire Brigade until 2007.
