Oldmeldrum Fire Station

01/04/2026

Due to the ever increasing number of rural / remote incidents we are facing, Oldmeldrum Fire Station has been selected to trial this first-of-a-kind, 'Agri Utility Appliance'. Boasting a top speed of 32mph, and the ability to reach the most remote and inaccessible locations this unit will be a welcome addition. We took delivery yesterday, and can't wait to put her through her paces!
