Barmera took delivery a new QRV tonight. The new Barmera QRV is based on a Toyota Landcruiser chassis, is 4 x 4 and carries 550 litres of water. Built by Varley Group, it is fitted with a Hatz 1B40 motor / Gaam Mk70 pump. It includes additional safety features to protect firefighters, including a halo system (water deluge system) and an in-cab breathing system. It comes fitted with an LED light bar and a Dometic fridge, and equipped with a Stihl chainsaw. It replaces the existing 19 year old Toyota Landcruiser based Barmera QRV which will be refurbished and sent to another brigade. Thanks Andrew Hogg for the photo.
