Great weekend snapping some of my local appliances on a Fire Brigade Society visit to Suffolk FRS. A big thanks to all of the firefighters that came in to move appliances and @Suffiresnapper for running the visit. @FBSEvents63
What a way to finish a few days of appliance photography. This impressive 2023 Scania L360 with Bronto 32m boom package supplied by @Angloco is on the run in Burton in Trent with @StaffsFire. Big thanks to white watch for their help in moving this cracking appliance @ScaniaUK
Also seen yesterday on my trip to @WYFRS stations was this very impressive newish Volvo FM Aerial Ladder Platform with 32m boom package supplied by @Angloco and based at Huddersfield where the duty crew were extremely helpful in assisting me and my fellow enthusiasts
Here's a Collection of Images taken the Other day of One of the new Tower Ladders being introduced back into the @CumbriaFire Fleet. This one being Based at @CarlisleEast
Land Rover began producing Fire Appliances in 1951 and continued to do so until they ceased production of the Defender model in 2016 (the new Defender is too costly to be a replacement). With many older Land Rover vehicles being retired from service the number still on the run is falling. This 2005 Defender 130 still operates as a Line Rescue Unit with @ClevelandFB

Its #ThrowbackThursday and whilst the new Volvo's are hitting the streets of Lancashire today, back in the 1970s @LancashireFRS had this stylish ERF Water Ladder which was based at the old @blackpool_fire station in Albert Road.
#Brackley is one of our newest fire stations. It has a community room for use as well. The crew keep the place in great condition alongside a nod to the past and take a lot of pride in serving their town. Well done to all. #oncall#professional
Since 1971 @ClevelandFB have been using white fronted livery on their fire appliances. The service also remains one of only two in the UK retaining the name Fire Brigade (rather than Fire & Rescue Service). Four of their trucks are shown from a visit earlier this year.
