SV02EMJ
Water Ladder
DESCRIPTION
SV02 EMJ is a former Grampian Fire and Rescue Service water ladder, built by EmergencyOne on a Scania 94D-220 chassis. Designed for versatility, the appliance is equipped to handle a wide range of incidents, including fires, road traffic collisions, and rescues.
This appliance particularly unique in that it is one of only three "10-man" pumps ever purchased by Grampian Fire Brigade, designed to accommodate a larger crew than standard pumps. This allows the vehicle to respond solo to incidents that would typically require two pumps.
Stationed at Turriff Fire Station, the appliance operates on a retained-duty basis. The extra capacity on board includes additional firefighting equipment and a second officer in charge (OIC), ensuring that the vehicle can handle complex incidents independently.
Given Turriff Fire Station’s Level 2 water rescue capabilities, SV02 EMJ is also equipped with extra equipment for water rescues and flooding incidents.
History
(681) 2002: The appliance is rolled out to Turriff Fire Station alongside two other 10-man pumps at Buckie and Ballater as part of a new trial by Grampian Fire Brigade into 10-man pumps.
(R49P6) 2016: Following the 2013 amalgamation of all eight Scottish fire and rescue services the appliance callsign is updated to a national standard.
