FDS Vehicles

[Carl]

Following on from a similar topic, namely FDS Cars, I am interested to hear from those who supply their own cars for the FDS Schemes on what car they buy or lease to enable them to respond. 

In GMFRS all FDS Officers supply their own cars and claw the mileage etc. However, there appears to be no preference with some responding in Corsas to your high end Audis and Jags. 

What do your FDS officers mainly use as their response car, if they supply their own?

Sounds similar here mate with FDS  just using what they have already.  Some have flash cars and some not so flash but blue lights get fitted to them by the brigade.  

The only FDS exception is ourselves in FIT.  We have our own pool car each which is a combo van that we take home.

Knowing how you like your motors, the job you will be doing and some of the areas you may have to visit, you might need a change @Carl.

It has crossed my mind. The car I have at the moment isn't ideal.

Whats the make up of the cars. Does the FRS have a policy that states what engine size you have to have or how many doors etc?

I know you can get a top spec 200bhp Astra Elite Nav on a 20k a year 3 year lease for £211 inc VAT with Leasing Options in Worsley ?.

Carl not that I’m aware of. I’ve seen Porsche’s down to corsas at jobs.  I think the requirement is only that you can fit your kit in it.
