Sweden seems to be the last remaining country in Europe to be placing TLs and ALPs in to service with crew cabs. Do the major cities still have four or five person crews on aerials?

I like the graphics on this Scania factory crew cab; its difficult to decorate this cab, and most efforts look very messy. This one is excellent!

Andy!The right third number on the doors was:

1 Pump, 2 TL, 3 Recue, 4 Forest fire-fighting unit, 5 Wrc/Prime mower, 6 Transport, 7 Special(Rescue divers
in Stockholm)8 Command and 9 Boat!The new sings is 7 numbers long! To start with the first:1=Police,
2=Fire&rescue, 3=Ambulance.The next 2 is the province, Stockholm has from 31-39.And the 4 ond the end tells you what kind of vehicle it is.

The full number on the alp in Vällingby is 1-33- 1930.

Hitta Rob! 2 things to correct ! Forestfighting (50) should be 4x4, and thé right number ön Vällingbys Alp is 233-1930.Thé reason for a ladder with crewcab is, that it was to go from 3 to 2 vehicles on firecalls/rta.On the run with 3 vehicles, thé numbers was 4 in the rescue, 2 in thé ladder and 3 in the pumpen=9.With the crewcabbed ladder, you could get watch out in 2 rather then 3 vehicles.Today, the numbers in the watches in Stockholm is down to 7!

Anders:

I guess fire services everywhere are reducing manning on their trucks. But does this mean that additional stations are responding with extra units, or is it just a general reduction in manpower?

Here in the US crews are getting smaller too, but most departments compensate by sending more units.

The NFPA still require a sixteen person response to a structure fire, so now there can often be five trucks when in years gone by it might only be three...
