Thanks very much for this great video. It's the first and only time i have seen the Scammel in action. It was sold in the mid 1990s to a recovery operator in Somerset and then sold on to one near Shrewsbury and repainted blue.

Just happened to be driving past, really pleased the heroes were not badly hurt, just their pride, but these are the guys who save the lives of strangers, wonderful guys

Poor old Bedford the ones North Yorks never had enough power to fall over!

Great result for the firefighters, only dented pride, they live to give their lives to save strangers, bless em all for their unsung heroism.

An old 1970's Bedford, I recall Cowdenbeath , Fife. having one of them.

Was it a fire truck version like this one?

many reason accidents happen. speed. bad road conditions such as black ice. drivers swerve in front of them. or afew other reason. when driver these units just have to use care & caution. I drove fire trucks before.

Yep, they used to be called RTAs in my day, Road Traffic Accidents, I think that has changed to RTC Road Traffic Collisions, I believe!!!!

Why did this happen? This is a NEVER EVENTthat by right must not be allowed to happen as the fire service is meant to save lives from this kind of thing. This is an act of high treason going against what the fire service exists for and damages the reputation of the fire service. Fire engines & Ambulances must NEVER EVER crash or overturn as they are meant to be totally infallible.

I believe they were all taken to the Bloody Tower and told to be ready for fireworks
