The function of the Transport Fleet Control Team is to look after West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Services fleet of operational, and non-operational vehicles and plant, from Fire Appliances to cars and vans, also ladders, pumps and generators. We plan and ensure, in liaison with the Workshop Team, that vehicle maintenance and safety inspections are carried out and records kept up to date. We also maintain a vehicle replacement plan due to age and condition, allocating new vehicles to stations and departments and disposing of the old vehicles through auction or committee approved charitable initiatives. The Transport Fleet Control Team also manages and controls the car-leasing scheme; also spot hire and external hire acquisitions of all items that are required to fulfil the needs of the Authority’s emergency vehicle pool. It is also our responsibility to administer and control accident repair work in conjunction with external organisations and insurance companies.

The team is also responsible for monitoring and reviewing the Service Level Agreement, charging work out to Fire Stations and other departments.

The team also offers advice and guidance in relation to Transport legislation and although the Fire Service has certain exemptions, it still has to operate within the UK Road Transport Act and Construction and Use legislation.
