REPLACEMENT of four Thames 4-tonners, which have attended 10,000 fires in the past 10 years with great reliability, by four new Thames 4-tonners has brought a switch from normalto forward-control for the vehicles of the London Salvage Corps. This corps is operated and financed by the fi IT insurance companies, and works in close liaison with London fire brigades.
Bodies built by Wood and Lambert Ltd. have a crew compartment behind the driving cab and a main rear section containing lockers which house the varied equipment carried to force entry to threatened premises and to protect goods and possessions from the effects of fire and fire-fighting.
Petrol engines are fitted to ensure quick starting and alternators are used because of the heavy current drain of two flashing lights, an electric, bell and radio transmitting/receiving equipment; each vehicle has a plug-in recharging point at the Aldersgate garage.
