The Dennis DS series was a compact fire engine with a tilting cab built by Dennis Specialist Vehicles from 1979 to the early 1990s. It was almost visually and mechanically identical in construction to the Dennis RS/SS series with the exception of a shorter wheelbase, aimed at fire brigades which may operate in tight rural areas unsuitable for full-size fire engines.[1]
Operators of the Dennis DS include the Devon, Cheshire, Hertfordshire and Durham County fire brigades, as well as the Dublin Fire Brigade.[citation needed] Eight were built for the North Yorkshire and Hampshire fire brigades between 1987 and 1989 with HCB Angus bodies.[2]
