Fire Engines Photos

Arto, this is some rig. Am I to understand that this vehicle is for rural fire fighting where there is little water supply?

Yes, these areas which I have photos getting more water is problem. Distances between fire station are long. My station nearest station is 25km far away. These are still shorts distances. Northern Finland can be over 100km to come first fire department in accident place. These areas fire departments are voluntary so it takes a few minutes more to leave station to accident place. Some fire departments will get combination of tanker and normal pumper/rescue truck instead normal tanker now. Those can be use others alarms than fires also.
