Dear Ricky,

Thank you for your request, dated 18 February 2019 regarding the new London Fire Brigade (LFB) FRU's and aerial appliances.

In response, I have been advised by our fleet team that whilst the operational use of the FRU will change little the final requirements and inventory of operational equipment items have not been set and so we are unable to confirm these details yet.
