New $2.2m ‘Bronto’ to come on line

June 3, 2019 by ufuadmin

The aging and breakdown-prone Bronto, “the ACT’s only specialised aerial firefighting unit” will be replaced with e new $2.2 million vehicle, according to a report in The Canberra Times of 8 May 2019.

The government has also confirmed it had “signed off on a new $2 million pumper.” In response to both announcements, UFU ACT Secretary, Greg McConville, said, “It’s a welcome and overdue announcement. It means we will have aerial appliances both north and south of the lake and improves the safety of firefighters.”

The new vehicle will mean ACT firefighting crews will be able to fight fires in multi-storey buildings more reliably.
