Known as a Rural Response Unit, this is the primary fire appliance for Caldey Islands volunteer firefighters. All of the clothing kit is stored in the vehicle rather than in the garages which are not weathertight. Normally the first person to arrive at the station would drive this vehicle to the fire scene and the other firefighters would travel directly to the scene. The station name on the door is shown as the old spelling of ‘Caldy’ rather than the current spelling which is Caldey. This appliance was delivered to the island by army chinook helicopter in January 2017. Small amounts of damage near each wheel arch can be seen where the straps suspended the vehicle below the helicopter.

This capable off-roader helps the volunteer firefighters of Caldey Island reach all parts of the island. It is a multi-agency vehicle, carrying the badges of the fire service as well as Dyfed-Powys Police, Welsh Ambulance Service, Pembrokeshire County Council and Maritime and Coastguard Agency. The single volunteer coastguard on the island uses the vehicle the most and their yellow jacket can be seen hanging up inside it.

This 1993 appliance is the only full-size fire vehicle on Caldey Island. It was off the run in 2018 as it was awaiting parts to be fixed. Mechanics from the fire service have to rely on boats running to the island to take them and their equipment over. The vehicle is not particularly suited to the small island with few roads, but comes in useful for relaying water.

The line-up of firefighting appliances on Caldey Island in Pembrokeshire. The island is about 2 square kilometres and has little in the way of roads. Around 40 people live there, but this number swells greatly in summer months with day trippers. Six volunteer firefighters crew the vehicles. If they are faced with a major incident, backup firefighters are brought from the mainland by Tenby’s lifeboat.

Ford Cortina 1.6 L
This model Cortina shows what was in use in Herts in the late 1970s. All five generations of Cortina gave sterling service to many Police forces during the model’s twenty year production life, which ended in 1982. The car modelled was used as a Divisional Area Car and was based at Hitchin Police Station. In common with other Hertfordshire Constabulary vehicles it carried dual roof mounted spotlights as well as the equipment required to deal with a variety of emergency situations. All the constabulary’s Divisional Area Cars were ordered in blue to distinguish them from the force’s traffic patrol units, which were white.

Jaguar XJ6 PS
The ‘Police Special’ version of Jaguar’s 4.0 litre XJ6 model. The car joined Staffs Police from new in 1993. It later moved to be used by the driving training unit before moving to front-line duties as a traffic car. The rear seats were taken out when it was used as a traffic car as the boot was not big enough to accommodate the kit that was carried. The seats were later reinstated so the vehicle could be used to carry detainees. It was the first video car on the central traffic group. It definitely had rear seats but also had a VHS video recorder in the boot as it was in the early days of video cars. The car has been in preservation since 2003.

This is a promotion vehicle used by RS Connect. The 207 mph supercar certainly catches the eye but unfortunately won’t be trialled by the UK police. The super-fast car has 3.8 litre twin-turbo engine coupled to a 7 speed dual clutch gearbox meaning it can leap from 0 to 60 mph in just 3 seconds.
