F903 USX

Text Box:   F903 USX was one of 5 Water Tender Ladder / Emergency Tenders supplied to Lothian & Borders Fire Brigade early in 1989.   This vehicle was built by Renault (formerly Dodge) in their Dunstable factory and is based upon their Commando 2 G13 Chassis.  The bodywork was built by Excalibur CBK.  This was the third batch of the Wrl/ET configuration which combined the traditional ‘water tender’ fire fighting capability with the ‘emergency tender’ capability with rescue and cutting equipment to cope with Road Traffic Collisions.
