The Sugito fire engine was donated by the Town of Sugito in Japan to the Shire of Busselton as part of the sister city program. The Shire of Busselton has donated the fire engine to the Busselton fire brigade.
After some modifications such as additional beacons and the installation of a two way radio the vehicle has become fully operational and has been used in fires.
The vehicle has no water carrying capability, but has a 2 stage pump and is ideal for relay pumping, filling of water bombers and personnel transport.
If you hear a strange siren in Busselton, it may be the Sugito fire engine going to an incident.
