This appliance is our first 4WD vehicle and the first with fully enclosed crew seating in the dual-cab seating which carries 7 fire-fighters including the driver.
Again this appliance was designed by our own members to meet our own needs. It carries a full Urban-Rural kit as designated by the CFS and is primarily a fire-fighting appliance and our front-line appliance for grass, bush and wild-fires in terrain such as the steep hills and rugged bushland that encompasses our territory as well as the the majority of the Australian outer metropolitan and country areas.
Commissioned on 6th February 1994 at the Blackwood Hill Oval by Alan Ferris (CFS CEO). Designed by the members of the Eden Hills Country Fire Service brigade, plans drawn by Mr David Hawkins (Life Member of brigade).
