It’s been a pretty big year for CTBL

Across 2023 there’s been plenty of opportunities and across them all we’ve captured 310 different emergency vehicles from all different services!

From Dundee Airport to Euston, we’ve done a lot! so here’s to an even better 2024 🚨🚒🚑🚓🚁

Exactly 26 years on since Grampian Fire and Rescue decided to make their fire engines white, @fire_scot is now trialing this new Pink fire engine in the Aberdeen area to find out if it increases visibility 🚒💗

@AlphaOneSix @fire_scot @LSO_Highland @SFRSlochness @ScaniaGroup

[ChasingTheBlueLights @ChasingTheBlue]

Quite the beast of a motor! 🚒

This @ScaniaUK P280 Heavy Rescue Unit is used at Inverness Fire Station

Built by @EOneUKLtd it’s certainly a useful asset for the region⛑️🛟

[ChasingTheBlueLights @ChasingTheBlue]

@ScotsEVP honestly… I’m team silver ! 🥈🥈

[ChasingTheBlueLights @ChasingTheBlue]

It’s not all about the big toys!

Inverness Fire Station use this Ford Ranger to transport their ATV to incidents, as well as using it in rough weather !

@Che_Scott_SFRS shame to see Strontian’s old motor go but brilliant to see some brand new kit in Lochaber !

[West Midlands Fire Service @WestMidsFire]

We are devastated to announce that our Chief Fire Officer, Wayne Brown, was this morning found dead at his home.

Our thoughts and love are with his family, friends and colleagues.

🎄🚒 With 50% of their profits going to @firefighters999 remember to pick up one of our Scottish Emergency Vehicle calendars before the end of the year 🚒🎄

We’ve got a few other things for any enthusiasts too so take a look !

[ChasingTheBlueLights @ChasingTheBlue]

For some reason I’ve had the bright idea of releasing a set of calendars this year, with half of the profits going off the firefighters charity it’ll all be hosted on a brand new website

take a look ! 👀🚒
