Fire Engines Photos

This ensign dates back to the late 1970s, although it could of course be a few years newer!

Hungarian fire services closely follow the German model, with full time paid staff in large towns and cities and numerous unpaid volunteer outfits in small towns and villages. They also favor German trucks, equipment and processes, and volunteers with limited financial resources have bought large numbers of used German appliances for many years. Before 1990, purchases were mainly East German IFA and Robur brands, as well as Tatra, Liaz and Skoda from Czechoslovakia. Cespel also built a small number of locally sourced new fire trucks, a few examples of which are illustrated on this site, but these were not a common sight.
