Great to see this pic, I was a fireman at Hereford for 21 years and never knew this sat on the station before my days! when I joined we had a six wheeler Range Rover wich was a top heavy nightmare on the bends! thanks for sharing< Rob.

This Commer-Karrier was built by Hertfordshire (with possible help from the local hinge factory !!!!!!!)

Registered TCJ 521, it was still at Owen Street in 1974 at the merger into Hereford & Worcester FB. Its stablemates in 1973 were 435DVJ Bedford TKGL/Merryweather (TL) which survived until 1989/90, NVJ372 Dennis F8 (Pump) and HCJ839 the long serving Dennis F12 Pump Escape. The F8 was replaced prior to amalgamation by (I Think!) Dennis D WrT VVJ817K.

Ian - do you mean Hertfordshire or Herefordshire? (sounds like a line from My Fair Lady)

My grandad was ADO in Hereford fire station around that time. His name was Alfred Bollington. Does anybody remember him?

London Salvage Corps had 2 of these identical to Herefords, they were classified as reserve equipment tenders and carried various powered tools, generators and compressors, flood lights and acrow props, they attended all the serious fires and floods and requests for heavy equipment.
