Whilst Kent had only one Rapier of the original design, the brigade commissioned 27 of the Mk.2 version which was announced in 1993. All were bodied by John Dennis Coachbuilders and this 1995 example is M874 OKE at Larkfield.
The Dennis Rapier was developed jointly by Dennis Specialist Vehicles and John Dennis Coachbuilders. The first in operational service (H196 FKP) was supplied to Kent Fire Brigade in 1991.
This 1995 Dennis Rapier / John Dennis Coachbuilders pump ladder is M878 OKE at Tonbridge.
