This is mine used as a command center for my local fire service

I have seen it driving about a few times

Its description:

The Control Unit is mobilised to large incidents of a protracted nature. It controls all communications on the incident ground and provides a single point of contact for our Control Room. There is an area within the unit for the Incident Commander to brief fire and rescue officers and also to liaise with officers and representatives from other services.

This ladder is house alone at Mase Hook and Ladder which also serves as headquarters for our department. It has a 100 foot ladder and an on board generator. This rig goes to almost every medical call(and fires oviously) when there is only one career officer at one of the engine stations.

This is the front view of the ladders station. The ladder exits from the rear of this building

[nick the greek]

These vehicles are huge and I don't think they will fit into a European city

[Guest mrpolice1996]

My third:

A:

Man bulk water carrier. Carries 27000L of water

[bsbllthirteen]

These vehicles are huge and I don't think they will fit into a European city

the ladder had about 5 inches from the highest point to the ceiling of the bay

[nick the greek]

If someone brought a vehicle like these in a European city it would not be able to move around easily

[Guest mrpolice1996]

If someone brought a vehicle like these in a European city it would not be able to move around easily

London have some huge fire and rescue trucks/lorries

In the Netherlands we use similair vehicles these days but then yellow. Even the air force uses them but they are cool and very very big to see live.
