Algarve, Portugal, Europe. - Pete(UK) - 06-26-2017 I have not been on for a long while, so must apologise for that. Currently I am in Portugal, and if you have been watching the news, there are fire raging here. I thought I would post some photo's of the typical firetruck they use here, like the ones you would have seen in the news. I do not collect details of the trucks, I just shoot the pics, enjoy. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Algarve, Portugal, Europe. - Pete(UK) - 06-26-2017 As usual, I always get a warm reception the the firehouses, and always get permission to walk around and take the pics, some of the firemen actualy converse in english a bit. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Algarve, Portugal, Europe. - Pete(UK) - 06-26-2017 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Algarve, Portugal, Europe. - Pete(UK) - 06-26-2017 Like most fire departments, they like to keep some older museum pieces. The town of Monchique, in the 1920's, the local mayor's wife drove a cadillac, and when she died, he donated it to the town. A garage turned this into the towns first firetruck. ![]() ![]() ![]() URL] [URL=http://s1117.photobucket.com/user/connect247/media/P8260286_zpsc2unnk0b.jpg.html] ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Algarve, Portugal, Europe. - Pete(UK) - 06-26-2017 Like the USA, the ambulances are run with the fire dept. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() L] [URL=http://s1117.photobucket.com/user/connect247/media/P8260247_zpsq9q9ewsv.jpg.html] ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Algarve, Portugal, Europe. - Pete(UK) - 06-26-2017 The lifeguards, run some pretty neat pickups, I will post them here to keep all the portugal stuff together. ![]() ![]() ![]() Algarve, Portugal, Europe. - Pete(UK) - 06-26-2017 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Algarve, Portugal, Europe. - Medic 43 - 06-26-2017 Great crisp photos showing a wide range of apparatus, loved the older GMC brush rigs.
