Athelstone took delivery a new QRV this evening. The new Region 1 QRV is based on a 2021 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 29 year old Landrover based Athelstone QRV, which will be sent for disposal.
