| THE FIRE BIKE SUPPLIED BY HONDA |
LETTERS
THE HERALD SUN
It's not surprising the UFU paid fire fighters are giving the CFA
volunteers problems.
Honda supplied the MFB with a fire bike for a trial to see if fire bikes
worked in our city as they do elsewhere. The bikes carry a trained fire
fighter, radio comms in his/her helmet, extinguishers and a first aid kit.
Most call outs in the city are false alarms or small fires in rubbish
bins and the like. These problems are easily fixed by a single fire
fighter. Fire bikes do not cause CBD traffic chaos at peak times, do not
require a large crew to operate and do not cost as much to buy and run
as fire trucks. Fire bikes also respond to alarms faster.
The UFU objected to the fire bike trial and the concept was dumped.

Of course they object: how can you fit 7 firefighters(minimum number to attend a fire before anyone's allowed to do anything !) on a Honda (except in Thailand ) ?
