Last day at E3/Station 40.
Kensington’s appliance leaves Huyton
Proud to return to the station I served at 5 years ago on Red Watch
Sad to close it as we left
I thought this was an International Metro when I saw it but now I don't think that's what it is. If you know anything about it feel free to post a comment.
UPDATE: This is a 1953 Grumman-bodied Ford.
4.22 am. The Thistle Hotel, Liverpool. The fire alarm goes off while a gale blows in from the Irish Sea.
Seen at the Milton Keynes Museum Transport Weekend 2020.
A retired 1998 Dennis Sabre fire appliance.
In the markings of the Dorset Fire and Rescue Services Sturminster Newton's number 2 pump.
Registered in August 1998.
The rules:
To enter, leave a link to the TWO photos you would like in [square brackets].
Any photo from my stream.
You don't have to be a contact, but it'd be a bit nasty if you took advantage of this. So I'd prefer it if you added me as a contact if you are going to do this.
Entry is from now until midnight until the 8th of February [British time].
I'll be pulling names out of a hat shortly after the closing date. I will then order the required prints [they will be 6x4] and then I will be posting them to your house.
UNITED KINGDOM ONLY [the cost of stamps is incredibly high, you see].
And remember, for this to work [if you win] I'll need your address. If you don't want me to know that then don't enter. Simple.
The winners will be notified via Flickr Mail
Forgot to say, there will be four winners, each will have two prints.
And finally, good luck!
Tagged a few random people, friends, people who are often on my stream, etc, but remember, anyone living in the UK can enter .:)
This truck has been parked outside one of the county fire stations for a while, and I know there are a couple of guys who like this kind of thing who look at my photos. I hope you guys like this one and can tell me something about it.
UPDATE - I think this is a 1980's vintage Oshkosh P19/T-1000. It was an ARFF (Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting apparatus) built for airport emergencies.
SECOND UPDATE - I got a call from Jim Parker, who is on the fire department. They have two of these from the Department of Lands, one from Miramar Marine Corps Air Station, the other from Idaho Falls. This holds 1000 gallons of water they can run from a remote nozzle on the front bumper and a nozzle the roof run through a hatch. It can use up the water in 3 minutes! It can also be tethered to a tanker or fire hydrant. Jim sent me a video of this one in action on the nearby Georgetown Summit fire just a couple of weeks ago. Impressive!
When I was little all the fire engines were Dennis or Simon Snorkel. This one is made by DAF and these days they're called an 'appliance'.
Firefighters arrive to put out a fire on Fenton Street. A second arrived shortly after I took this but I couldn't hang about to see what else was going on.
Operated by the Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service and seen here outside Bracknell Fire Station.
PM+HVHL means Prime Mover & High Volume Hose Layer.
North Wales Fire & Rescue Volvo Foam carrier P61HEM seen at Broughton - don't know what the call out was, but these guys are quite a way from their Deeside base.
