Ok guys, sorry for the delay - I had a week long buffing trip to Poland (which I will post in due course), but in the meantime lets get back to England's second city - Birmingham, covered by the West Midlands Fire Service.
Since around 1977, the WMFS have remained loyal to Dennis chassis for their pumping appliances. Since then they have operated pretty much each variant including the Dennis RS, Dennis SS and ultimately the Dennis Sabre with the XL cab. The XL cab can be used to accommodate up to eight personnel, but the WMFS chose to utilise the space to carry additional equipment.
The went with the Sabre XL from 1995 to 2007 when Dennis ceased to produce fire apparatus.
This is a 2006 model based at Hay Mills station. The apparatus is known as Pump Rescue Ladder, its your basic engine company with a bit more added cutting gear plus an assortment of hand ladders, the largest being a 13.5 metre triple extension.
