Mark,
They are mostly domestic/rta appliances. The airfield has specialist appliances - I think the military do this?

Mark/Walt,this picture actually shows the new fire station on the Falkland Islands and I do wish someone would send in a full-shot of this with all the appliance in use today.
If you go to a picture I sent in (picture 5297) it gives some information on the F.I.F&R.S., and also appliances used under the comments. I will though just point out this is a civilian brigade. The Island also has a small airport with its own fire brigade, and the military of course operate their own fire service at the RAF base.
