A fleet of 28 new Citroën Berlingo First vans are arriving at West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service for fire prevention duties.

The delivery of these Berlingo First vans brings the total to 90 Citroëns in the 420-strong West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service fleet.

The Berlingo Firsts have been supplied by Citroën dealer Dutton Forshaw in Preston and have been acquired on Lloyds TSB Autolease five-year/50,000 miles contract hire leases.

The authority has been a pioneer in developing community fire safety programmes, which is where the new Citroën Berlingo First vans will be deployed.
