Ardrossan took delivery of a new 24P today.
The new Ardrossan 24P is based on a 2024 Isuzu FTS 150-260 chassis, is 4 x 4 and carries 2000 litres of water.
It is fitted with a six speed Allison transmission & Allison retarder.
Built by Fraser Fire and Rescue, it is fitted with a Deutz BF4L2011W motor / Darley HE500 pump.
It includes additional safety features to protect firefighters, including a halo system (water deluge system) and an in-cab breathing system.
The new heavy appliances also include air conditioning vents for the crews in the rear seats, as well as those travelling in the front of the cab.
It comes fitted with an LED light bar and an Engel fridge, and equipped with a Milwaulkee chainsaw, Milwaulkee quick cut saw, Ramfan Positive Pressure Ventilation (PPV) fan and a Tirfor winch.
The brigade has also been allocated an additional two breathing apparatus (BA) sets, bringing the total number of sets to six.
It replaces the existing 24 year old Isuzu based Ardrossan 24P, which will be refurbished and sent to another brigade.
Thanks Mel Carberry for the photo.
