Our two frontline aerial appliances can extend up to 32 and 37 meters high, providing essential support in emergency situations.
Aerial appliances are specialist fire engines, equipped with large, extendable ladders and platforms that reach higher than standard ladders.
Aerial appliances play a crucial role in various operations, including:
- Firefighting
- Rescue
- Observation
- Lighting
These vehicles are particularly valuable for incidents involving tall buildings, complex structures, or difficult terrain, ensuring firefighters can operate effectively in challenging environments.
Where are our Aerial Ladders based?
To ensure rapid response times, our aerial ladder platforms are strategically located at Marley Park and Gosforth Community Fire Stations, allowing them to be deployed swiftly when needed.
