FIRE APPLIANCES

We currently have 3 Fire Appliances in Operation at Norton Summit / Ashton CFS.


Our main brigade appliance is our 34 Pumper. It carries approximately 3000 Litres of water and has a larger capacity pump designed for incidents where a larger volume of water is required, such as Structural Fires.

It has 4WD capabilities allowing us to effectively deal with situations in both Urban and Rural areas.

The vehicle is equipped with 4 Breathing Aparatus sets along with the tools in which we use to deal with the various emergencies. For a detailed list of the stowage, please visit SACFS Promotions
