Notes

Massey Shaw This vessel is now in preservation. It was launched in 1935 and used by the LFB until 1971. Having led an amazing life, she was involved in fighting fire in The Blitz on London during World War II as well as bringing troops back from Dunkirk. More recently, in 2002 and 2004, Suggs (from Madness) and the Salvage Squad helped restore Massey Shaw back to her former glory. She is now used for ceremonial duties and is run as an educational trust.

DETAILS
OrganisationLondon Fire Brigade
Notes

Soho fire station's commemorative plaque with the appliance reflected in the background. It commemorates the firefighters that attended the Kings Cross fire disaster in 1987, in particular the station office from Soho who gave his life. To this day, a peg in the locker room is purposefully left empty with his name next to it. The plaque reads: To commemorate the valiant actions of all fire-fighters who were involved in fire-fighting and rescue operations at the Kings Cross Fire Disaster on 18 November 1987. Station Officer C J Townsley the officer in charge of Red Watch at Soho Fire Station heroically gave his life whilst attempting to rescue a serious injured member of the public.

Notes

These electric vehicles were introduced in 2016 and feature a range-extender engine under the boot floor. This doesn't power the wheels, it just charges the batteries to double the range from around 180 miles. The car is quick around the streets of the capital with 0-60 in eight seconds and a top speed of 93. There are 52 vehicles in the fleet (as of August 2016) with the following registration plates: LF16 EVK, LF16 PTX, LF16 XCE, LF16 YXO, LF16 PNE, LF16 PTY, LF16 YPW, LF16 YXP, LF16 PNL, LF16 PTZ, LF16 YPX, LF16 YXR, LF16 PNO, LF16 PVA, LF16 YPZ, LF16 YXS, LF16 PNU, LF16 PVD, LF16 YRG, LF16 YXT, LF16 PNV, LF16 PVK, LF16 YRK, LF16 YXU, LF16 PNZ, LF16 XBH, LF16 YRM, LG16 AXB, LF16 PPU, LF16 XBM, LF16 YRP, LG16 AXC, LF16 PPV, LF16 XBO, LF16 YXH, LG16 AXK, LF16 PPY, LF16 XBS, LF16 YXJ, LG16 AXM, LF16 PPZ, LF16 XBT, LF16 YXK, LG16 AXN, LF16 PSY, LF16 XBU, LF16 YXL, LG16 AXP, LF16 PTU, LF16 XBV, LF16 YXM, LG16 AXR.

Notes

These unmarked fire vehicles carry 'SAWD' fleet numbers, standing for specialist all-wheel drive. These are two of five identical cars used for specialist operations. They would normally be deployed on high-risk tasks or when inconspicuity is called for. For example, one use could be following behind a lone gunman street attack helping to grab and run with casualties. They would be quickly placed onto a polythene sheet and dragged by firefighters in bullet proof vests to a place of safety.
