Oxford Diecast - NSFE007 - Truck, Scania, Tractor-Trailer - Fire and Rescue - RX56 FXF

Specific Item Information: Our Scania Pump Ladder appliance in the livery used by the Surrey Fire & Rescue Service. Registered RX56 FKF, it is used by the Service under the auspices of Surrey County Council, whose logo is faithfully reproduced in green on the sides of the appliance. Even the highly detailed John Dennis Coachbuilders ‘JDC’ crest has been applied to the cab doors. Other details include a lightbar on the roof above the cab and the Scania P270 logo on the radiator grille, all amounting to a wealth of intricacy, taking into account its minute size.

Road Name History: A fire department (American English) or fire brigade (British English), also known as a fire protection district, fire authority, or simply fire service is a public or private organization that provides predominantly emergency firefighting and fire protection services for a specific geographic area, which is typically a municipality, county, state, or special district. In the United States a fire brigade is the private firefighting organization of a company or enterprise, operated under rules from OSHA. A fire department usually contains one or more fire stations within its boundaries, and may be staffed by career firefighters, volunteer firefighters, or a combination thereof (referred to as a combination department).

A fire department may also provide fire protection or fire prevention services, whereby firefighters visit homes and give fire safety advice and fit smoke alarms for members of the public. In many countries fire protection or prevention is seen as an important role for the fire service, as preventing a fire from occurring in the first place can save lives and property.
