Northumberland Fire and Rescue operate this BMW motorbike in the North of England. It was introduced in 2007 and is used for promoting road safety, but also carried a defib and trauma kit for road accidents. It is riden by fire fighter David Stone.
This is a fire cycle! The red Specialized mountain bike has four blue lights fitted to the front as well as a small siren. It has been decked out in bright yellow striping and even the saddle has a picture of flames on it. The bike is not operational - it was specially built for a police, fire and ambulance cycle race up the Brooklands hill-climb course in Surrey.
North Wales Fire Service operate this Yamaha FJR 1300 motorbike. The fire-bike was paid for by the Welsh Assembly and will primarily be used to attract bikers to the brigade's stand at events. This will then give staff the chance to educate bikers on road safety.
This old fire bike was used in days-gone-by to test fire hydrants. It carries a connecting pipe and a short length of hose.
