NK15 OEJ Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service Mercedes Benz

NK15 OEJ Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service Mercedes Benz Sprinter Targeted Response Vehicle. This unit responds to low risk fires such as rubbish on fire away from any buildings. Two such vehicle were introduced in May 2015 with two more to follow and a further one for training only. The first two were assigned to Washington and Newcastle but cover the whole county. They operate from 6pm to midnight and are crewed by just two firefighters. A Rosenbauer UHPS XL Pump and the 600 litre water tank are housed in the rear along with BA kit and other firefighting equipment

SG15 AED Surrey SAR VW Amarok Lowland Rescue vehicle. This 2015 4×4 replaces their old Land Rover Defender. The car is suited to travelling across the county on normal roads but also has good off road capability where required. A fold-down screen in the Truckman rear allows briefing to be given or other information to be displayed – such as the view from a drone (shown). The total cost for the vehicle was £32,500 and was met by the county’s Police and Crime Commissioner.
