H701 LOO is shown as being first registered in Chelmsford so its possibly ex-Essex FRS?

In common with other Central and South American countries, Belize has quite a few fire trucks bought from the US in previous years, as well as these British examples and a handful from other European fire brigades.

Very common in Central & South America... Wonder if the ones sent to Belize are still in service?

Don’t know. But some small town volunteer fire companies in places including Argentina have lightly used fire trucks which have 40 or more years service behind them, so it seems quite possible.
