At 1030 on Boxing Day 2015, I
was asked to take the Lancashire SACU to the holding point for the floods
which had hit the Ribble Valley.
Appliances were arriving throughout
the day from other Fire & Rescue Services around the country.
I was in attendance until 1730
and have included most of the appliances during the time I was there.
For the sake of completeness,
I have also included a number of vehicles used by other agencies.
As ever, sympathy is offered
to all whose homes and businesses have been devastated at this time.
Pictures have been posted in the order in whih they were taken.
