1982 Bedford Fire Witch Wr.L

DGD 213X

The Fire Witch was designed by Mr Dawson Sellar, primarily for use on the remoter parts of Strathclyde.

His brief was to design an appliance that would not require an HGV licence to drive and would be small enough to negotiate the roads of the Highlands and Islands areas covered by Strathclyde Fire Brigade.

The result was an appliance weighing 5 tons and costing £33,000. This particular vehicle last served at Tiree and was gifted to the Preservation Group in 2004.
