South Yorkshire Fire & Rescue's 13 new (Type 'B') Rescue Pumps from One UK Ltd are now all in service at stations around the county.
These appliances are built on Scania P Series 17 Ton Chassis with a CP31 crewcab, powered by a 310 hp Euro 4 engine, using Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) technology.
The Scania cab is a factory built version (not a coach built conversion). This is seen to be much more attractive from the point of view of giving full major manufacturers warranty. Also, there is a large amount of interchangeability between cab components within the Scania range, giving better parts availability and researched and developed components.
Other improved items on the new appliances are as follows:-
-
Full all round air suspension, including dropdown at rear when stationary by press of a button.
-
Option of ePump control system.
-
Option of high level hosereels to release rear lower level locker space for heavier items of equipment and gain access to pump side panels for maintenance purposes.
-
Front mounted winch much more concealed within the bumper.
-
Stowage of equipment to the Firestore programme.
-
Pump bay has barn type doors giving better access to fire pump.
-
LED lighting.
-
Sliding locker trays to carry both PPV fan and smaller LPP side by side
-
CAFS firepump system.
-
