Re: FRNSW Appliance Callsign Prefix
My understanding STP - Standby Pump
FRNSW Appliance Callsign Prefix
Copy. I found ‘STP’ in the link below as 'Strike Team Pump', but it was published in 2008 so may now be outdated.

Re: FRNSW Appliance Callsign Prefix
Funny STP is mentioned, I heard what sounded like STP/T Bombala 230 coming down to Bega 219 a week or so ago, From memory it was a grass fire and they had to standby at Bega. I think they got called off before arriving at Bega
I thought I had misheard the callsign and had forgotten about it.

Thanks. I’ll add it above.Commshack wrote:CP is for CAFS PUMPER - Compressed Air Foam System.
I’ve got ‘CT’ recorded as well, which I assume is therefore a CAFS Tanker.
