K412 EET South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service Mercedes Benz / Saxon

K412 EET
South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service
Mercedes Benz / Saxon
Still part of the fleet in 2016, despite being new in 1993. This appliance, along with sister vehicle K413 EET are both non-operational vehicles used for youth engagement work such as fire cadets and LIFE/ARC courses. The courses run for about a week at stations across South Yorkshire so the appliance moves around regularly.

Neither vehicle has any radio communication equipment or Mobile Data Terminals installed. They’ve been off front-line duties for several years and 4 further sister vehicles were disposed of a number of years prior to this photo.

Fire and Rescue Ambulance. This is an ambulance that is manned by firefighters and is used when it is much closer to an incident than a regular ambulance. If required, the patient can be transported to hospital in it or alternatively be handed over to the local ambulance service. This is the first of a wave of fire-ambulance vehicles that began appearing in the UK from 2015.

This small fire appliance is just 6m long and 2m wide and is powered by a 3-lire engine. The cab can carry just two firefighters. All of the scene and emergency lighting around the vehicle are LEDs and it has full CCTV coverage too. The images show a closer look at the front winch and the red and blue flashing lights that are legal in Jersey but not in the UK.
