Bedford SH/Magirus Turntable Ladder (TL)

Bedford SH/Magirus TL no.1 undergoing aerial rescue drill at Bandar Seri Begawan FS. Circa 1970s
Bedford SH/Magirus Turntable Ladder no.2 at BSB FS. Circa 1967.



Arrived in Brunei in 1967 this Bedford SH/Magirus 100ft TL is the most sate of art appliance that Brunei Fire Brigade owns at that time. At the end of the ladder there is a high presure monitor for high-rise firefighting. BFB owns two units of it. TL1 was stationed at Bandar Seri Begawan Fire Station while TL2 was stationed at Seria Fire Station (later transferred to Kuala Belait Fire Station). Later in 1980s with the arrival of the Snorkel appliances this appliance is no longer used and few years later sold to the public.
