Incident, Peckham Location
of Incident: Discount Decorating Limited, 157-159 Rye Lane, Peckham, SE15 |
 |
The first appliances in attendance at the incident were the two DPLs from Peckham. Here is their Volvo pump ladder. |
|
Peckham's Mercedes pump is seen here. |
 |
Old Kent Road's Atego pump was also mobilised, and is seen here. |
|
The fire rescue unit from Croydon also attended. |
|
The rapid response chemical incident team from Lambeth HQ also attended. Their main vehicle is Alpha Tango 2, this ex-DPL Volvo FL6.14 / Saxon now used to carry their specialised equipment. |
 |
This is Alpha Tango 1, a basic Ford Tourneo personnell carrier, which always travels together with the RRU. |
 |
Also attending from the Lambeth headquarters was the command unit, formed of Volvo FL6.14 prime mover HDC32 (K962EYH) and ICU body CUB2. |
|
Another HDC also attended from Barking, carrying the BAMIU pod. However, like the SSU seen below, it could not reach the incident due to the huge amount of traffic in the way, and it was decided it was no longer required. Therefore both appliances soon left the scene. |
|
As mentioned above, the Scientific Support Unit from Poplar did not even reach the incident, due to the heavy traffic. It was soon turned away and returned to its home station. |
|
Here is a photo showing the appliances at the incident. From right to left you can see Croydon's FRU, the RRU, the PCV, Peckham's pump ladder and Peckham's pump. |
 |
A single police car was in attendance, this common Vauxhall Astra IRV. |
 |
There was also a single ambulance vehicle at the scene, this very new Vauxhall Zafira rapid response car, seen here whilst turning round to leave the incident. |
