This is the only Dennis Sabre in Northern Ireland, it was bought in 1996 & is currently stationed at Banbridge along with a 1993 Dennis SS237 JDC WrL. The NIFRS also had a demonstrator 1992 Dennis Mk1 Rapier (F88) with Alexander bodywork although i think this may now be disposed of.

What's on the run at Lurgan now? Do you know if the Dennis SS237 JDC has been disposed of or is it now a reserve appliance?
