Hyde Fire Station

Hyde Fire Station is the Tameside Borough Command Headquarters and is in a rather out-of-the-way part of the town.

I don't pass the place very often, but here are a couple of photographs I've taken when walking past the station.

This photograph was taken in November 2010 and shows two appliances which apparently didn't belong to the Tameside Fire Service. The nearest one is a Dennis Rapier Rescue Pump of the Chesham Fire Service, registration number L668 LUJ, and the other appliance is a Dennis SS Saxon, registration number L616 DDB.

This photograph was taken earlier this month and the one nearest the camera is a Scania 94D P260 Water Tender. Again the coat of arms on the door of the vehicle appears to be that of the Chesham Fire Service and the registration number is T236 RFS. The other vehicle is a Shelvoke Special Purpose Vehicle, registration number YHV 186T.
