Operation Florian has a new van to cover our operations in the north of the UK. This vehicle comes with great thanks and appreciation to Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service. www.lancsfirerescue.org.uk
The vehicle was, until donated to the charity, used on a daily basis by Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service to assist in running the service. Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service have been a fantastic supporter of the charity since the creation of Operation Florian in 1995. Without the help of UK Fire and Rescue Services and other organisations we could not carry out the vital work as a charity to help our fellow emergency services throughout the world in their time of need.
It will be used to pick up and distribute donations received to the charity, mainly in the north but also throughout other areas of the UK. The van will be a vital asset in the running of Operation Florian.
It will allow our volunteers to pick up large items of equipment because of its large storage capacity.
We now operate two vans, the other of our vehicles being based in the south of the UK.
