Glad to see a smart move like this - multiple Counties buying proper aerial appliances in bulk to drive down costs, instead of each one trying to sort things out on their own. Hopefully, this will happen more often in the future.

The flashing beacon on the one third from the right is rather extreme!

Are any on the run yet Gary?

Hi Mike the ALPS are allocated to Crownhill (City of Plymouth) Exeter (Danes Hill) Taunton, Torquay and Yeovil (Devon & Somerset FRS) and Newquay (Cornwall FRS). None are on the run at the moment but training will take place between April and July 2010.

Glimpsing the water in the corner; this reader has finally "clued in" as to what that red & white flashing device atop 3rd from right really is.....thanks, Mike G.

More of a guide to ships at sea, I think !

Konrad, This will happen more often as the Goverment has set up its own company FIREBUY and expects brigades to combine and by all euquipment in this way

@ Gary Parkinson

The New ALP for Cornwall is going to go on the run at Truro not Newquay if this helps.
