Nice video.

just wondering how the numbering works there, in South Australia the first 2 number denote the station and then the 3rd and 4th (if needed) denote the type of appliance, eg 201 is Adelaide station first pumper.

is this similar to how it works there?

[thekiwicanuck]

@scottdd2 Yep, exactly the same. In this case, 14 is a command unit and 16 a haz-mat. Also visible are 206 ladder and 207 rescue tender, while 2029 van and 2015 breathing apparatus unit are in behind.

Hey Canuck - I've always been wondering why one firefighter stands outside while the trucks go out of Auckland central? Is it like the American practice of looking for oncoming traffic?

[thekiwicanuck]

They do that occasionally, not often though. I think when they're turning out its more to keep clueless pedestrians (like the one above) out of harm's way. When they return to station one or more FFs jump out to hit the door opener while the truck waits on the front apron for a suitable gap in traffic and then keep an eye out for the driver while he carefully slots the rig back into its narrow bay.

so the BA teder sits behind the ciu 205 has a bay of its own dose the usar unit sit behind the cu ??

[thekiwicanuck]

It goes, left to right:

1: 2014, 2029

2: 206 (takes up 2 spaces)

3: 207, 2015

4: Empty, 2016

The USAR parks at a different building out the back.

Now are you happy? LOL!
