Woodford Halse and Raunds fire stations were “strategically placed” on different parts of the district, including the entire Northamponshire.
They are not equipped with fire hoses, and instead, they have special tools to fight fires such as beater.

Forest fire in the cars can carry up to 20 liters of water each.
Neil Sadler, Regional Manager of Northamponshire Fire Brigade and Rescue Service, said: “After learning that Northamponshire has numerous forest fire, we introduced the vehicles to our fleet and this summer, and this summer, the experiences of other fire services such as Dorset and Willshire Fire Service, such as dorset and wildshire firefighters, such as wild births, such as wild births was shot.
“Forest fires are largely a risk for our rural district, and we are constantly reviewing our ability to respond effectively and safely.
