Some appliances are no longer in service and haven't been for a while in this video which can be rather deceiving as the SA CFS have an exceptional fleet of appliances and command vehicles.(much better than the victorians)
@flammabletube I believe it's a CAT(Caterpillar) 631E although don't quote me on it, in other words a large bulk water carrier which holds around 38 000 litres.
You might also want to point out that the CFS trucks (South Australian ones) are the white ones - EXTREMELY rare colouring (they are perhaps one of a handful of fire departments in the world that do this) and that was chosen rather than red for it's high visibility in both fire and heavy smoke conditions. Which brigade are you with?
A good setup, but I notice most of the CFS trucks you display have the old markings on them, not the newer red & gold chequering (looks far better than the red & silver striping, I think).

@fsxlucas1 i doubt it holds 38 000 litres as Western Australia has bigger bulk water tankers that range from 7 thousand ltrs to 12000 ltres

@hold3n01 Sorry im not sure where the 3 came from, I ment 8000 ltrs, same hear in SA, most tankers are either 7000 or 12000
