Fleet and equipment

Explore our wide range of fleet below, and learn what vehicles we use as a fire service.

If you've ever wondered how much water a fire engine can hold, how heavy a fire appliance is, or which vehicle types we have, you'll find the answers here.

 
New Medium Rescue Pump

Medium Rescue Pump (MRP)

The largest of our appliances carrying full inventory and 13.5m ladder.

The LRP is a red fire engine. This photo is taken from straight ahead, so is mainly the red front, windscreen, red and white striped bottom and the sirens on top. A glimpse of the side can be seen, with neon yellow stripes and silver slide-up doors. 'Fire - Rescue' is written along the front in white capitals.

Light Rescue Pump (LRP)

Our medium sized appliance carrying a slightly reduced inventory and 10.5 m ladder.

The RIV is a smaller vehicle. The front is like a van. It's red, with sirens on the top and red and white stripes at the bottom. There looks to be two doors each side to get in to the seats. The back is two grey slide-up doors. A neon yellow and red block pattern runs along the middle of the vehicle.

Rapid Intervention Vehicle (RIV)

The smallest of our operational fire appliance with a similar inventory to the LRP and a 9 m ladder.

The SRT is like a van, with two doors with single steps either side to get in. The front is all red, with the Service logo on the second door. The back shows grey sliding doors for equipment. Blue sirens are visible at the front. A neon yellow line runs along the middle of the vehicle, and the top of the sliding doors.

Specialist Rescue Tender (SRT)

A vehicle used for specialist rescue operations, such as water rescues, lifts and rescues from height or animal rescues.

  • Environmental Protection Unit (EPU) - support at incidents where there's a risk of exposure to hazardous materials.
  • Groundhog - part of our wildfire response, it's designed for off-road use and is able to cross difficult terrain.
