context_page_description: Country Fire Service appliances used by the South Australian Country Fire Service in the state of South Australia are provided and funded by the Government of South Australia, and by donations from the public. As the funding model of government funding is relatively new, the standard for SACFS appliances is still only new, and many appliances still exist that were built by the individual brigades. Because of this, almost all appliances are unique, and hence cannot be described simply. However, the SACFS has managed a standard naming convention of all SACFS appliances, and also a basic standard stowage of equipment that can be found on all appliances. The Country Fire Service operates 784 appliances including tankers, urban pumpers, pumper/tankers, bulk water carriers, rescue and command vehicles.
context_section_description: 24P - 24Ps (Two-Four-Pumpers) are often placed in quite large towns, which have large rural areas around them. Although they are not often used for a rural fire, they are quite capable of going off track to fight them. Most stations which have a 24P, often have another truck which is used for more rural jobs, such as a 24 or 34. The pump size on a 24P is not as large as the Urban appliances in the CFS, but it is quite capable of dealing with small house/commercial fires.
  Urban/rural pumper (URP) - The CFS has only one appliance designated "URP".
  34P - A 34P is almost the same as a 24P, the only large difference being the amount of water carried, which is 3,000 litres (660 imp gal; 790 US gal). They can also carry more gear than a 24P, which is useful for urban trucks. There is a problem sometimes with the size of these trucks, as they sometimes have problems accessing driveways due to low branches.
  Urban - Urban appliances are appliances designed for incidents that occur in urban areas—that is, house fires, car fires, bin fires, vehicle accidents and other general urban rescues. All urban appliances have similar stowage, so their classification is tightly based on water capacity and pump capacity. The most recent urban appliances built by the CFS are based on the relatively cheap Isuzu cab chassis (750s or 900s).
  Pumpers - All pumpers have PTO-driven pumps, however some have auxiliary pumps for pump-and-roll capability. By the definition of volume in a pump (not counting pressure)
  1,000–2,000 litres (220–440 imp gal; 260–530 US gal) per minute = Light Pumper
  2,000–3,000 litres (440–660 imp gal; 530–790 US gal) per minute = Medium Pumper
  more than 3,000 litres (660 imp gal; 790 US gal) per minute = Heavy (real) Pumper
  12 - There are only three 12 appliances left in service in the CFS. These are on Aldgate, Stirling and Upper Sturt.  They carry 1,000 litres (220 imp gal; 260 US gal) of water and are 2 wheel drives. All are dual cabs, and PTO driven pumps.
  Medium urban pumper - The CFS has a handful of medium pumpers at stations around the state. From older models such as Stirling's prototype WA Fire pumper to the new generation of NSWFB Spec Izusu 'Type 2' pumpers. These newer pumpers can be found from Mount Barker to Happy Valley, serving in communities where there is a high urban risk.
  Heavy urban pumper - The SACFS currently has only two Heavy Pumpers. One is a secondhand imported Dennis from the UK. This appliance was station at Mt. Barker, then was moved to Seaford and is now based at Morphett Vale. The appliance carries a normal Urban stowage, with BA sets in the cabin of the truck to allow firefighters to don their safety equipment faster. The appliance also carries a set of Rapid Intervention Holmatro Hydraulic Rescue Equipment. The other appliance is the new Burnside Pumper, which is a Volvo FM9. This appliance carries 3,000 litres (660 imp gal; 790 US gal) of water, carries full urban stowage, BA seats in the cabin, and a full set of Lukas road crash rescue equipment.
