The former 44-seater single decker bus is now enjoying a second career, supporting vital frontline training for the service and helping to enhance emergency response capabilities across West Yorkshire.
West Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Service asked First Bus for a vehicle to help with training exercises, such as rescuing casualties, dealing with road traffic collisions, and other emergency situations. The donated bus is now being used to give crews a realistic space to practise and improve their skills in a safe, controlled setting.
