	AUSTRAL COUGAR LARGE FIRE VEHICLE Air Services Australia took delivery of 20 Austral Cougar Rapid Intervention Vehicles (RIVs) between 1982 and 1984. They served as complimentary vehicles to the Walters. The RIV has a Mack engine and Chassis, Allison transmission and Rosenbauer fire fighting equipment. Austral designed and manufactured the vehicle. In 1991 and 1992, ten of the Cougar RIVs were remanufactured and renamed Large Fire Vehicles. The bodies were widened and the drive train was changed. A 4100 litre capacity water tank replaced the 2000 litre tank of the original RIVs. This LFV was based at Launceston Airport in Tasmania.

	ISUZU 3.4D TANKER Isuzu tankers entered service with Victoria’s Country Fire Authority in 2001, replacing the Hino 3.4D tankers which were then some 18 years old. The Hinos remain in service, having been passed to other CFA units. The CFA’s designation of 3.4D stands for the following: 3 refers to a 3000 litre capacity water tank; 4 means four wheel drive; and D denotes a diesel pump. The GAAM pump is driven by a Hatz diesel engine and has a capacity of 325 litres per minute. It is manufactured in Australia by GAAM Emergency Products of Thomastown, Victoria, and is designed to deal with the unique and extremely harsh Australian bushfire conditions.

	HINO 3.4D TANKER & CL-215 WATER BOMBER Hino tankers served with the Country Fire Authority throughout the 1980s and, over twenty years later, many soldier on. This particular vehicle entered service in 1987. This tough and versatile appliance has a 3000 litre water tank and a GAAM diesel pump. In 1997, this tanker fought the devastating Dandenong Ranges bushfires. Also involved in fighting these fires was a pair of Canadair CL-215 water bombers. This amphibian can skim across the surface of a body of water and scoop up 5346 litres in 10 seconds. At as low as 40 metres above the bush, the pilot makes full use of the plane’s low drop speed and excellent manoeuvrability to dump 5 tonnes of water (equivalent to nearly two truck loads) where the fire is most threatening.
