53 plate landrover with water rescue unit
2 x Volvo FL6/14 E-One rescue pumps, 1 on a 54 plate, 1 on a 56 plate .

Reliability issues mainly, out of the 7 in the UK that were placed on the run, only 3 ever were in use, i once heard London has sent one to France for repair and 2 = years on were still waiting ....

Think it's a safe bet to say they will all be scrapped now if this appliance is anything to go by , unsafe, unreliable, unwanted, unrepairable ! constant fault came on user pannel was fault 82, sadly that didn't exsist .... the repair / maintenance book was in French and the poor people at GB Fire i think had nightmares about this , i know the brigade did ....
