(Picture: London Fire Brigade)London Fire Brigade on Thursday welcomed two brand-new “state of the art” fire and rescue river boats into its fleet as part of a £40 million investment from City Hall.
The two new vessels, each worth around £1.8 million, will be used to fight fires alongside the River Thames and will contribute to a “significantly improved mass rescue capability”, with each boat capable of carrying up to 20 people including the crew.
