ENGINEERING CENTRE
OF EXCELLENCE ~ Page 1
The Merseyside Engineering Department
moved in 2010 from premises in Speke to new premises in Bootle, close to
the Service Headquarters. With most front line appliances 8
years old or less, visits of vehicles to the centre are predominantly for
routine maintenance. I am grateful to the Management of both
the Fire & Rescue Service and the Department for the kind invitation
to the centre and for the opportunity to post these pictures and those
on subsequent pages.
All the pictures on this page were
taken on 19 November 2010.
The rear of the premises.
The premises are very spacious, although there
are plans in the offing for further use of the space visible in the foreground
of these pictures.
A Scania, a Dennis Sabre and a Volvo Prime
Mover can be seen in this picture.
