Three new fire engines with latest equipment ready to roll out across Staffordshire

Three new state-of-the-art fire engines are hitting the streets across Staffordshire.

Staffordshire Fire and Rescue Service said one of the engines had recently gone into service Burton and a further two will be going to Cannock and Hanley fire stations in the coming weeks.

The new Rosenbauer appliances are fitted with the latest equipment to support firefighters at fires, road traffic collisions and rescues.

This includes carrying 2,000 litres of water, ladders that can reach 10.5 meters and CCTV cameras.

Group manager Chris Craddock said: “These three new state-of-the-art vehicles represent a significant investment in our frontline fleet and demonstrate our ongoing commitment to providing firefighters with modern, reliable and fit-for-purpose equipment.

“They are a visible demonstration of our continued investment in protecting both our communities and our people.”
