Australasian Fire and Emergency Services Expo

For many parts of Australia, the moment winter loosens its grip, bushfire season begins almost immediately. Over 2,500 emergency management professionals are set to descend on this year’s Australasian Fire and Emergency Services Authority Council conference, AFAC18, as the three-day show, held between September 5-8, returns to Perth. Isuzu’s Truck and Engines departments will make an impact with many of the exhibitors, showcasing the latest product developments for this important civil sector. Isuzu’s National Sales Manager, Les Spaltman, said he was excited at Isuzu’s continued involvement with Australian fire services, and that AFAC was a very important event for Isuzu. “Isuzu supplies trucks and also our diesel power solutions to every state and territory’s fire services and that’s something we’re extremely proud of.” Mr Spaltman said. “AFAC returns to Perth this year, and as always, we’re looking forward to connecting with our friends in the emergency services sector again in 2018.”
