The old and the new
This is an Isuzu Trooper 2.5 litre diesel.
It is used for bringing crews in and out to calls and in some cases Firemen can follow on after the main appliance.
It is used for moving equipment around at the scene of a fire and is very useful as a four wheel drive to transport a portable pump off road to a known water source.
