Hafnarfjordur Scania WrT

The Greater Reykjavik area has 4 fire stations. One of them is places is the town of Hafnarfjordur. It is a very modern building with plenty of space for the fire trucks.
One of the appliances they have is this nice looking Scania 124c. This Waterpumper is the first engine to respond to alarms. The bodywork is from a local Icelandic firm.

One reason Scania is so popular worldwide for fire truck applications is that this chassis manufacturer offers optional four door tilting crew cabs.

Although access and headroom are not the best, it does mean that building a simple box body for the rear section of the truck is easy and - therefore - inexpensive.

Scania are not the only ones to offer a standard factory crew cab option, but they have ended up very widespread - and quite popular even in countries with strong local chassis builders like Germany and France...
