Thanks for reply Ilias, another question for you, what sort of duty system do they operate at this station? Are they volunteer, part or full time firefighters?

Added by Matt Ireland on 19 July 2010.

Rodolivos Fire Brigade operate by full time firefighters and every summer has some part-time firefighters.So the Relays on winter have 3-4 full-time firefighters and on summer there are 3 more part time firefighters.
