I really loved how the driver of the turntable ladder gave you a thumbs up, Mad respect to him.

[@SomersetEmergencyResponses999]

Nice one.

[@somersetcyder6833]

Long ol' drive from WSM! Or was it on standby elsewhere?

[@avonemergency]

Sort of a standby, Temples TL was off the run, and lower aerial priority stations give their aerials up for high priority if that makes sense. Weston had given theirs to Temple

[@somersetcyder6833]

@@avonemergency yep, thought that might be the case.

[@EmergenciesInAction]

Wow! Great catches mate 👍👍

[@moscow_emergency2784]

Круто! Cool!

[@benwalmsley7607]

does the rescue pump and heavy rescue tender carry the same equipment apart from one carry's hoses and water and the other doesn't

[@avonemergency]

Not far off. The Rescue pump is more a standard pump just with a few more bits of cutting gear, but mainly carries extra support bars and winches. The Heavy Rescue is dedicated only to rescue; it has the biggest winch and carries the most cutting gear, chains, ropes, stretchers, HGV platforms, Stretchers for bariatrics, with the biggest different being the large HIAB on the rear of the appliance. It is to be replaced by the end of this year/start of next.
