Ford Trader Type 2 Light Pumper

Our brigade currently operates a 1990 Ford Trader Light Pumper. This appliance is the first responded to structural fires and incidents in the Portarlington urban area. It's pump has a larger capacity than the tanker's and is capable of pumping 1900 litres a minute at 700kpa. The Pumper only carries 900 litres of water so finding and connecting to a hydrant quickly is very important to the success of the fire fight.
