Why do the Peru FD have a fleet of Japan made fire trucks?Such a far away from Japan to Peru.

The Peruvian fire dept. were given aprox 300 fire engines/rescues and ambulances including one haz-Mat, by the Tokyo fire dept. from 1992 to 2002 when the last one arrived.All of these vehicles came fully equiped, and thanks to this that the country has a fire service(the Peruvian goverment has only once in 1980 purchased fire engines/rescues/ambulances) that is usually down to each fire station!!! even though the Lima fire station's have the most calls (shouts, alarms) than any other South American city.

I should also add that these fire engines & ambulances are very reliable and first class to work with.

Rescue 124. For me, one of the most "beautiful" units.
