Echternach Fire brigade Luxembourg Mercedes
Late 1990's Mercedes Automatic 1429 water tender of the Community of Echternach Fire Brigade in Luxemburg. This lovely 'Day-Glow' orange appliance rolled up to the public toilets just off thr Market Sqaure in the small town and I thought nothing more of it,just great for a picture I thought.Well,the crew dismounted-the officer proceding off and into the toilets without further a do,nothing I thought unusual in that exept there was.The toilets were blocked and unusable and the local brigade had been called out to clear the waste away,which they did using a high-pressure hosereel very quickly.A high pressure hosereel can put anything out very quickly.Sorry, 'no action shots of this one' , only the very nice shot of the appliance.Pete M

Andrew,as far as I'm aware,all the new Scania's(mind you it took them a long to put them on the run?)have now gone on the run,and that includes the rescue's.Orders for 2010 un-confirmed at the moment and just rumours,and there are several rumours so I cannot say more until I hear more.
Excuse to come down?,well the weather's better then what your having at the moment.Thats got to be a good excuse to come down.Pete.

Hattie for those who don't know is the WSF&RS's Fire Investication Units search dog.I do have a picture,but not a close-up of Hattie.Its a photo I took last year(2009)at the Burgess Hill Fire Station(Emergency 999 Day)Open Day.
Andrew,although Bognor Regis recieved a new Incident Control Unit back in October 2008,due to cut backs for that year and 2009,I understood that Haywards Heath were not getting a new ICU?.This info came from someone I know at Haywards Heath.If you've heard anything different then keep us informed please.

Andrew,the old Bognor Regis Incident Command Unit(N143 NPX)was altered to an FPU(Fire Prevention Unit)many years ago.It was moved to Chichester 2 years ago,Bognor now operating a much smaller ICU.Pictures of the new ICU put on the run at Bognor back in October 2008,also Bognor's old ICU then FPU pictures all appear under my name under contributors.
Received yesterday(Jan 5th)a picture of one of the new workshops vehicles,its a Mercedes and looks nice.Pete.
