UK fire engines supplied to Argentina

These are all ex UK fire brigade vehicles changed to left hand drive in Poland and sold to Nigeria and Argentina this year. The Mercedes Atego is one of 5 from South Yorks sold to Fire Departments in Argentina. Two of the Volvos went to Nigeria. I think they are ex West Yorks but not sure as they were bought from Angloco.

Good to know these perfectly serviceable older trucks will be put to good use. Both destinations have a lot of small towns separated by often quite considerable distances, and rely on volunteers with affordable equipment to provide meaningful fire protection. There are actually a few converted Volvos in use with volunteer fire companies in Poland too.
