Kuwait has moved over to a fleet of mainly European fire trucks now, including MAN, Mercedes, Iveco and Scania, but still operates a lot of American light SUV utilities and crew cab pickup truck based Dodge and GMC rescue units - with one of these at virtually every one of their 28 municipal fire stations - to respond rapidly to road traffic accidents.
