With the VFBV/CFA Joint Equipment and Infrastructure Committee reviewing specifications for proposed Sand Tankers, operational representatives from Districts 17 and 18 have asked the Committee to consider a reduced water capacity of 3,000 litres in order for the trucks to use super single tyres.
The request for reduced water capacity surprised the Committee, as previous requests have been for more water, but the Committee has agreed to investigate further.
The Committee is continuing to monitor feedback and expects to see a new prototype by December 2014.
