[RARE] Humberside Fire & Rescue Service Driver Trainer YJ53 KHC

This is it. I've peaked. I've absolutely peaked. Everything is downhill from here on out.

 

This is the fire engine I've been waiting to get for... I don't know how long now. I hear it come down my end nearly every Monday at around nine o'clock, but I can never guarantee when it will come on the dot or not.

 

Then just up there on Anlaby Road, I start to hear it. It has a distinctly different siren tone to any other fire engine in the fleet. I look around, thinking it was just heading up the A63. And then I see it. And I positively gasped!

 

This must be among the last Humberside fire engines to still have halogen rotator lights! In fact, this might be one of the only emergency vehicles left in Hull to have them at all! And believe me, I had burst mode on for this one! I have never been so excited to see a vehice like I was back there in such a long time! At last! At last! I have it! And what a brilliant, brilliant photo it is, too!

 

Among the last fire engines in Humberside to still retain the older halogen rotator light setup, now plunged onto the retained training fleet, Humberside Fire & Rescue's YJ53 KHC, a 2004 Scania P260 94D with JDC coachwork, is seen here 'responding' with full lights and sirens up Anlaby Road on a driver training run.
