Avon new Rescue Boat Unit

Avon Fire & Rescue new Rescue Boat Unit WU16 OYL on a Mercedes Sprinter chassis with WH Bence bodywork parked up at Avonmouth workshops on Sunday March 19th 2017, in the line of Reserve fleet appliances. I assume it will be allocated to Bath or Bedminster, but confirmation would be useful.

Does this carry a boat or tow one?

Thanks Paul - they did put the "Bath" station name on the side very soon after I took this picture...but it has spent a lot of this year in the workshop yard.. one assumes the Sprinter chassis at workshops is for another one for Bedminster?

Boat is in the back Rob

Avon are going away from towing due to young FF's needing to have towing on driving license

I looked at Bence's site. It does carry a small boat, but only three crew.
