M62 Ambulance convey
Discussion
Just seen a convey of Ambulance vehicles travelling east bound on M62 between Wakefield and Pontefract at 8:45. At the front a Discovery and L200, followed by what looked like some kind of command vehicle (about twice the size of regular Ambulance) and a regular Ambulance. Followed later by two Police Cars.
Looked like the response to a major incident but nothing on the News.
Anybody know what's up?

by the sounds of the four Ambulance vehicles described it was HART or USAR
HART= hazardous area response team
USAR= urban search and rescue
the Discovery is the supervisor vehicle / recce / full off road capapble response vehicle ( iirc the national HART spec for the Discovery includes wading kit and a front winch)
the pickup is the small equipment vehicle
the large vehicle was either a the command vehicle (if it has windows in the body)or the large equipment vehicle if it has doors / roller shutters
the normal ambulance is exactly that a Normal ambulance to transport the casualty.

the program exists for two reasons
1. provide paramedic care inside the 'inner cordon'
2. the wihle civilcontingencies / resilience and response to terrorism stuff ( whichis why the fleet andequipment is a national spec barring a few things like choice of defib)
