WH Bence, a leader in specialized vehicle manufacturing, has recently expanded its support for Northumberland Fire & Rescue with the production of six additional fire appliances under the original tender agreement. These new units reflect WH Bence’s commitment to high-performance design, customization, and practical innovation, meeting the evolving needs of fire and rescue operations with reliability and efficiency.

At the heart of these appliances is the Volvo FL 280 4×2 14-tonne cab chassis. Renowned for its durability and robustness, this chassis serves as an ideal foundation, providing a reliable platform that seamlessly integrates with Northumberland’s operational demands. WH Bence has paired this high-performance chassis with the Godiva 3010 P2A Prima water and foam system, a dependable pump capable of supporting rigorous firefighting efforts. The integration of this system ensures that each appliance can deliver powerful, steady water flow when it matters most.
