Burned out WPD 239G Dennis F44

This photograph has been provided with the permission of Colin Duncan.

Further to thread that formed from picture 4308 regarding this machine, here we can see the sad end of ex Surrey Fire Brigade Dennis F44 WPD 239G, whilst in subsequent service with the fire section of the Kent and East Sussex Preserved Steam Railway.

Unfortunately whilst fighting a stubble fire the engine suffered a petrol vapour lock and failed to move when the wind changed direction.

Of the 5 Dennis F44's supplied to Surrey Fire Brigade (WPD 235-239G) we have information on two 239G & 236G (believed to be the last survivor). I would love to hear any further information on any of the others. Thanks
