The brigade has two of these appliances which at the time were allocated to the Volunteer Stations at Wrington and Banwell.These two stations were passed over in 1974 to the control of the newly formed Avon Fire Brigade and in the next few years both of the volunteer stations were closed. The transits had a first aid water tank along with a hose reel at the rear and carried an LPP.
