 The new Alpine Track pumpers were needed to replace our existing over-snow pumpers that have been in service for over 30 years. The new Alpine Track pumpers have an improved cab chassis for safety of our members, have an improved pumping capacity to allow us to effectively fight structure fires in the Alpine environment, along with a number of new bespoke firefighting techniques. The new Alpine Track pumpers are designed to work in multiple environments, including structural firefighting, bush firefighting, motor vehicle accidents and technical rescue. Most of the Alpine Brigades respond to between 30 and 50 calls each year. The new Alpine Track pumpers provide an increased firefighting capability to the Brigades and in turn that supports our community by providing a fantastic operational fleet of vehicles across the Alpine Brigades.
