This response vehicle was purchase many years ago, thanks to donations from our community. It has served our team well, but is now due a replacement and something more modern.
The project to replace the vehicle started in Spring 2024, with fundraising starting shortly after...
Another CFR scheme from the West Midlands reached out about a response vehicle they were replacing to assist our project.
Their vehicle was deemed a suitable upgrade to ours, and a plan was agreed to purchase their vehicle.
We collected the replacement vehicle from Staffordshire and drove it back to Ross-on-Wye.
Removal of the old style livery began, ready for the national CFR livery to be applied.
The old livery has been removed.
We are awaiting designs and quote for the replacement livery to be applied.
Old communication equipment is being removed.
Design has been approved and booked in for fitting in early December.
Our Replacement Response Vehicle is now Operational - Responding to Emergencies, Educating the Community and Supporting the local area.
