2 x WrL, 1 x ERT, 1 x L4P, 1 x T/USAR, 1 x IRU

Front of the station showing two of it's appliances, and the large training tower behind it.

The first Water Tender Ladder at the station is this Scania P94D with Saxon bodywork. It is registered Y408 CKG and is seen in front of the station.

The other WrL is crewed by retained firefighters. It is an older Scania G93 model, again with Saxon bodywork.

This attractive vehicle is a MAN LE 14.285 4x4 emergency rescue tender. It has John Dennis bodywork, and is registered CN53 CTX.

The other side of the ERT. Note that the service name is written in English on the offside and Welsh on the nearside.

CE02 UNW is a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter based light four wheel drive pump. Here it is seen parked at the rear of the station.

A view into the rear of the L4P showing the various equipment it carries.

Another old model Scania at W1 is this heavy rescue unit, fitted with an ATLAS crane. It is no longer on the run and is used for training.

AE51 XCR, a MAN LE8.140 with Randolph bodywork, was formerly used as a temporary IRU. After the IRU (below) was delivered, it was converted for use as a USAR truck until a purpose build New Dimension USAR truck arrives.

Here is a government supplied MAN TG-A / Marshall incident response unit, registered DG53 FYB. Like many New Dimension vehicles it does not have its fleet number on it, which is IRU017.

Rear view of IRU017, showing the Moffett Mounty fork lift truck fitted to the back. Unfortunately the FLT didn't have a tax disc fitted, so its registration is unknown.
