Wessex Fire & Rescue Service choose a HiSun

Published on: 23/03/2023

For the past 30 years, Wessex Fire & Rescue Service has been at the forefront of fire safety and awareness, operating at events and supporting companies around the UK with their fire safety needs.

Keith Allgood, Fire Officer for Wessex Fire & Rescue Service, explained why they chose to invest in an electric UTV, “We considered if an electric vehicle would suit our needs in terms of carrying equipment including fire extinguishers, beaters, water rescue gear and first aid kits whilst providing sufficient green power to get around on-site during event days. We work closely with the Shambino Music Festival organisers to satisfy their requirement for an effective, environmentally-friendly fire response vehicle. With just one overnight charge, the HiSun ran for the four-day duration of the show. The vehicle was ideal for navigating through crowds and congested, difficult-to-access areas on-site. We definitely made the right decision to go electric!”
