The Heavy Rescue Partnership is a Staffordshire Fire and Rescue scheme that is set up in partnership with Auto Rescue Logistics and Jon Beech Recovery.
The scheme is set up to aid the fire service in the recovery of heavy and specialist vehicles. The scheme aims to cease delays in rescuing trapped persons in accidents, stop delays in recovery operators accesing the incident due to traffic congestion, stop delays in clearing the incident and the highway and aid firefighters due to their lack of knowledge of LGV/HGV systems.
Flood Relief
In November 2010 the Heavy Rescue Partnership launched a new service in partnership with the British Red Cross.
The service aims to bring relief to communities that are hit by flooding. The HRP ex-military vehicles are capabale of operating in up to two meters of water and will be used to rescue people who have been hit by floods and deliver supplies to them.
