Central Beacons MRT run a fleet of 3 emergency response vehicles which need to be available 24hrs a day, 365 days a year in order for us to be able to respond any incidents. We have two 4x4 pickups and a fully equipped incident ‘Control’ vehicle.![]()

To ensure they are kept in tip top condition we must ensure they are checked regularly, before each drive, weekly, are fully serviced and properly maintained.![]()

Driven in all weathers and are across all types of differing terrain, this does unfortunately sometimes takes its toll on the vehicles. Following a slight mishap our incident control requires a bit of TLC for some damaged bodywork. ![]()

We are very grateful to local motor business Ron Skinner and Sons, who have kindly offered to carry out the repairs to the vehicle free of charge and at a time which will minimise the operational impact on the teams capability. ![]()

The team’s operational costs are in excess of £50,000 a year, it receives no central funding and is mainly reliant on public donations to maintain the professional service we do so gestures such as this are very much appreciated.![]()

Dropped off today by our Vehicle Officer Nick, we will keep you posted on the progress.
