AIRPORT FIRE TRUCK DRIVER
Our top airport fire tender driving tip : if you both want to have a go at both driver and firefighter roles, go for the extended two-driver voucher, which gives you time at the wheel and on the hoses.

And to give you an idea of the force at your fingertips, your typical shower head has around 1 bar of pressure! With a pressure of around 40 bar you’ll need to be steady on your feet for this bit. Then you’ll need to set about extinguishing the fire, using the hand-held hoses. This is done with the aid of a thermal camera. Next task is to identify the fire’s hot spots. Pumping out over 1000l/minute it’s pretty impressive! The aim is to dampen the ground beyond the flames, to stop the fire spreading out of control. The first task is to get the roof-mounted hose (called the monitor) going. It’s time to hand over to your crew mate who’ll be taking control of the incident. After tackling some tricky driving manoeuvres, you’re on the scene. As the engine roars into life, get the sirens and lights going and you’re off on your call out. So open those big, wide doors and hop into the cab into the driving seat. It now has a new lease of life giving you a fantastic insight into being a firefighter, with the opportunity to drive it and get those hefty hoses working too.
AIRPORT FIRE TRUCK MOD
This Alvis fire tender is in tip-top condition and was demobbed from the MoD with very few miles on the clock. Capable of carrying 2275l water and 150l of fuel, the truck can reach 0-80kph in 23 seconds, as the 9 litre V6 turbo engine whizzes down the tarmac to attend to an emergency landing on the runway. They are surprisingly quick for a hefty appliance, living up their moniker RIV (Rapid Intervention Vehicle). These fire tenders were primarily built by Alvis to be in attendance at military airfields. This immaculate Alvis RIV fire truck has all the power, hoses and water onboard that you need to drive to the fire – and put it out – on these fun experiences at Bicester Heritage.
