Tri Emergency Services Station, 1:76, Fire, Ambulance, Police

Recently I added the 1:64 scale British Red Cross Land Rover model to my collection. I’ve been keen to lay my hands on it since I heard the model had been commissioned, as I first volunteered with BRC as an event First Aider at 15 years old. I decided to do a photoshoot with this new addition, and chose to use the Belshotmuir Tri-Emergency Service Station diorama, utilising the Kingsway Models kit “Gainsborough Fire Station 1:76 scale”. The photoshoot takes place during an open day.

 

On show are:

Scottish Fire & Rescue Service - Crew present equipment next to Pump Ladder appliance, Aerial Rescue Pump and Officers car.

 

Scottish Ambulance Service in attendance put on a demonstration of dealing with an unconscious casualty. SAS are here with a 4x4 Paramedic Response Unit (PRU), a non-emergency Patient Transport Service ambulance and Care Assistant, and an Accident & Emergency Mercedes Benz Sprinter box body ambulance.

 

Tayside Police are represented by two Eastern Division (Angus) resources, local beat/response car Echo Mike 1-1 (Eastern Mobile, section 1 beat 1) and Roads Policing Unit (RPU) car Echo Tango 63 (Eastern Traffic car 63). Central Division, Dundee City, have sent the City Centre cell van callsign Charlie Mike 1-1 (Central Mobile, section 1 beat 1).

 

British Red Cross - Emergency Response Service - Land Rover (some pictures)

The British Red Cross is a humanitarian organisation with special auxiliary role with standing invitation to provide humanitarian services and aid. The model shown here is a Search & Rescue ambulance and represents the Emergency Response side of BRC. The Red Cross can respond to individuals in need, such as through their Fire & Emergency Support Service who attend the locus of home fires for example to provide shelter, toiletries, food and assistance with temporary accommodation and more. BRC also respond to regional and National emergencies, providing ambulance vehicles and crews and, as shown by this 1:64 scale model, a fleet of all terrain vehicles equipped with defibrillators.
