B132CAF - 1985 Landrover 110/CCFB L4T (Light 4 wheel drive vehicle with Tank and Hosereel)

Registered in December 1985, and put on the run in January 1986 at Saltash fire station, this Landrover 110 was kitted out by Cornwall County Fire Brigade workshops at Camborne. It replaced a 1964 Austin Gipsy L4P 52 VRL, and was given fleet number 505 (later A505). Its callsign was 426T, signifying station B12 Saltash 4 wheel drive vehicle fitted with tank and carrying a small Light Portable Pump - in this case a Briggs and Stratton unit.

When Mercedes 1124AF/Carmichael/Saxon Water Tender N94 LCV was allocated to Saltash in 1996, replacing both the second away appliance and this Landrover, B132CAF was transferred to the reserve fleet.
