CANOBOLAS Zone firefighters have been trialling a prototype fire truck this week that has a capacity three times that of their current vehicles. The category six heavy tanker is the only one of its kind in the state; it carries more water and can operate with less crew. NSW Rural Fire Service Infrastructure and Asset manager superintendent Arthur Sharp took Central Western Daily reporter Nadine Morton for a test drive in the new truck today to show off what it is really capable of. Check out the new truck in the video below. To find out why this truck could make a difference to local firefighting operations check out Saturday's Central Western Daily.
