form the images here - I get the feeling that Spain is very serious about its fire brigades service - we (Israel) have the same climate but have much smaller stations and much less firetrucks.

Why do Spain have yellow lights on Fire trucks and Ambulances?

Added by Peter on 20 June 2009.

Peter, up until last year only Spanish Police were allowed blue lights. The law was changed and slowly blue is replacing amber on machines including ambulances.

Yes that was my main concern; you can mix an Ambulance with some roadwork or other maintenance activity.

Malaga, with a population of 570, 000, has a full-time fire service operating a four watch rotation out of a total of five fire stations, including the central station pictured here. There are 72 operational firefighters including two senior officers on each watch. The fleet includes 18 pumpers, 5 aerials, 4 rescue trucks and numerous specials and command vehicles.

Several units are specifically designed for brush fires and rescues in the hill country immediately behind the city, as well as water rescues along the ocean side and incidents resulting from accidents on the busy motorways around the city.

Others - including a 42 meter ALP - are intended to address the numerous high rise hotel and apartment buildings which characterize this major holiday resort.

The service responds to around ten calls a day, peaking in the late summer and autumn because of brush fires. Around half of these calls are fires, and - in common with other Spanish fire services - there are barely any false alarms. It does not run any EMS units, nor respond to EMS calls other than for assistance in rescuing victims.
