Title: New Mini Front line appliances
Post by: mark on May 22, 2005, 12:06:07 PM

hello,

I am a retained firefighter with oxfordshire fire and rescue service and rumours are flying around that our second appliance is being removed and replaced with a more flexible and versatile vehicle similar to what Royal Berkshire will be having at maidenhead.
i have tried RBFRS web site but cannot find any info on this vehicle, Can anyone help??

Cheers

Lurch

Fire magazine had an article about this appliance a couple of issues ago.

You may want to contact their editor

Good luck

I would be surprised if you can get much in a Mini. Still they do do them in some very fetching colour schemes.

PS the appliance I saw in the magazine was actually from cumbria and is based at Keswick.
