YJ12 BCU North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service Vauxhall Astra
| REGISTRATION YJ12 BCU |
| OrganisationNorth Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service |
| Make and ModelVauxhall Astra |
| UseFirst responder |
| First RegisteredMarch to August 2012 in Leeds |
| NOTES The photos also show what it looked like in its previous life as a police response car. This Astra was being retired from front-line duties with North Yorkshire Police in 2019. Instead of sending it to auction as normal, the workshops converted it into a first responder car to give it a new lease of life. This arrangement was facilitated by NYP and NYFRS sharing workshop facilities. When the vehicle entered service with NYFRS in summer 2019 it was initially used for transport duties before being properly used as a first responder car. A sister vehicle is YJ12 BDZ which is exactly the same; an ex-police vehicle converted to a first responder. |
