Green Goddess . A Bedford Green Goddess Fire Engine . Here is my latest labour of love, the classic Green Goddess fire engine. My creation is 8-wide and has the following features: -Removable cab roof -Extendable ladder -Opening tool lockers containing a radio, shovel, axe, spanner, oxygen cylinders, hammer and megaphone -2 hose reels and hose storage on the rear of the vehicle -Seating for 4 crew -Spare wheel on roof -A search light and bell mounted on the cab A little bit of history about the Green Goddess. This was built by Bedford between 1953 and 1956 for the Auxiliary Fire Service. It's actual name is the Bedford RLHZ Self Propelled Pump. It was designed primarily to pump water from rivers and lakes into towns and cities in the event of a nuclear strike on Britain. Multiple Green Goddesses can be linked up in a relay system to pump water over long distances. It's secondary role was as a Fire Engine. The Auxiliary Fire Service regularly used these to support the regular fire service until 1968 when the AFS was disbanded. The Green Goddesses were then mothballed but occasionally used by the armed forces. Recently they were used in the fire service strike in 2002/2003 and in the strike in the late 1970s. Now all the Green Goddesses have been de-commissioned as appliances in the UK. Quite a few have been auctioned off and some now serve as working fire service appliances in poorer countries. Hope you enjoy looking at my version. Please feel free to comment and rate. The Old and the New side by side.
