Saudarkrokur WrT

The town of Saudarkrokur is in the north of Iceland, and lies at the Skagafjordur (fjord). It is for Iceland a rather big place. They have and old fire station. I was lucky, there were people on duty. The fire brigade have 5 people on duty on workdays from 8 tot 5. One of their fire engines is this american fire truck. I'm a bit ashamed because I do not know the make. But what I know is that it is a former fire truck from the Keflavik Air Station, that is why the truck is yellow.
There was also a water tanker on a Volvo chassis inside the fire station. But this one is so old that a miracle had to happen to get it outside. So no picture of that one.

It looks like an old E-One, but probably the lack of a nameplate is because it originally went to the air force.

This truck is a Spartan CFN 1980 model, he came new to Naval Air Station Keflavík. He was sold to Sauðarkrokur Fire department 1994, for few icelandic money ( krónur). And today is he still first response engine.
