Merseyside's Combined Pump Platform (CPP) seen attending the latter stages of a 12 pump fire at Hope Street, Liverpool in April 2010. The appliance is based on a Scania P310 6x2 rear steer chassis with Vema 282ARP booms and JDC bodywork. It is based at Liverpool City Fire Station.

P310? So this large appliance has 310 horsepowers?

To me that seems to be not particularly much. Considering the amount of weight on a beast like this.

Yes, 310 horsepower, and your right - it isnt really enough for this vehicle as it is very slow.

Nice engine. This is what we Americans would call a quint. Triple = pump + hose + tank. Add ground ladders to get a quad; add an aerial device to get a quint. Some quints are missing the ground ladders, for lack of space. Interesting that these beasts are making inroads across the pond.

Hi Steve Fife's is the same as this but a 340. Tayside's are 380 with the 2nd which is going to Perth is away to get its tilt test then to a show in Harrogate in May. Tayside have orderd a 3rd which is a 400. Hope this helps.
