Does anybody know what sort of appliance has replaced this one, going by some 2006 information the fire service at Lindsey Oil Refinery has got a Ford Transit LWB, a Volvo FL10 Water/Foam Tender, a Volvo FL10 with de-mountable body, a Mk1 Ford Transit Ambulance and a 1989 Mercedes Ambulance

As of 2009, the LOR/Conoco Refinery Joint Fire Service has the Volvo FL10 6x4 FoT, a Volvo FL10 8x4 prime mover, two identical 56-plate Volvo FM9 8x4 prime movers, a 58-plate Mercedes Sprinter, two Defender 110 Stationwagons and various demountable foam pods (not sure what ambulances though).

A Ford Cargo tandem axle chassis in service in the UK as a foam tanker is a rather unusual sight. Although the preceding D series was quite popular with fire services in quite a few countries, the Cargo saw popularity with fire services in only a few places where it was manufactured under license. These included Argentina, Brazil and Turkey. There are several examples on this site.
