Muskeg mounted Foam Unit hose reels
The photograph is courtesy of the family of George Dey. George took many forestry photographs in his forestry career and many are now shown on this web site. Check under ‘Groups’ and George Dey Collection.
One of a series of photographs at South Strome Forest showing a fire control training session to Forestry Commission staff in the use of the mobile Foam Unit. Here Mike Aldridge, with the help of some local staff is demonstrating the use of the fire hose storage reels several of which are stored on the back of the tank unit. The PDF shows more action and activity
Can anyone name the other staff present at the scene? Going by the deer stalker hat it is likely to be Davie Robertson (Chief Forester Skye) behind Mike and Steve Smith who was a Forester at Slattadale at this time.
