This pair of vehicles carry different liveries but are with the same organisation. The reason for the difference is that J96782 was previously in service as an Operations can at Jersey Airport

Ambulance (General)

L999 NAS ex-Northumbria Ambulance Service Cheverolet GMC

ex-Northumbria Ambulance Service
Cheverolet GMC
This was the very first Chevrolet that Northumbria bought in 1993. There were six in the batch and this model served from new at Wallsend. It has a 6.2 litre diesel engine and was an unusual sight on the roads of the UK. The personalised registration plate caused quite a lot of controversy in the local press regarding the waste of money on buying the plate. It was initially intended that the service retain the plates, but they did not! The ex-ambulance is seen here photographed in 2015 when it was a non-runner in need of a full refurbishment.

Fire In Action

BA Training Exercise (2016)

BA Training Exercise (2016)

Saturday 2 April saw firefighters from across North Yorkshire descend on York for a training exercise. A disused university accommodation block was filled with smoke and dummies to simulate a major fire at a high risk dwelling.

Crews arrived in their appliances from York, Acomb, Huntington, Easingwold, Tadcaster, Northallerton and Ripon. This turnout was supplemented by Tadcaster’s Rescue Unit and the brigade incident command unit form Northallerton. The command unit, Volvo N765 YEF, has been recently refitted inside and this was one of the first outings for it. Crews worked with breathing apparatus to search the property while fire service observers charted their progress.

This exercise allowed new protocols to be evaluated including use of an oxygen management team. Station Manager Pete Gregory concluded that “The exercise in general was a success and the objectives were achieved, with some valuable learning in the process.”

Fire and Rescue Ambulance. This is an ambulance that is manned by firefighters and is used when it is much closer to an incident than a regular ambulance. If required, the patient can be transported to hospital in it or alternatively be handed over to the local ambulance service. This is the first of a wave of fire-ambulance vehicles that began appearing in the UK from 2015.
