Those of you collecting our Oxford series of fire appliances may have seen this vehicle in our 1:76 scale. We are pleased to reintroduce it in 1:148 scale for anyone who has missed it first time around or who concentrates on the smaller N scale.
Essex County Fire and Rescue Service (ECFRS) is the statutory fire and rescue service for the county and is one of the largest fire services in the country, covering an area of almost 400,000 hectares and a population of over 1.7 million people.
The mind-boggling statistics of ECFRS includes these facts! The service attends an average of 24,490 emergency incidents per year, employing 1640 staff comprising 874 full-time firefighters, 479 retained firefighters, 43 control personnel and 244 support staff. There are 50 fire stations throughout the county, 2 of which are full-time, 34 are retained and four are day- crewed. Major risks covered include Stansted and Southend Airports, Harwich seaport, Lakeside shopping centre, Coryton oil refinery, Tilbury Docks and part of the M25 and M11 motorways and A12 trunk road. An immense logistical exercise and responsibility, to be sure!
