The Fire Brigade in P-A-P is a branch of the military and is the only "career" dept in the country. There have been instances where good hearted forginers donated vehicles of various types to smaller communitys far outside the capitol but they only last a short time before dissolving.
When I was last there in the early 90's the P-A-P Fire Brigade had some broke down euro apparatus and looking foward to some being sent from the U.S. In photo's from last years relief effort there were various donated used engines from the U.S. being unloaded with intended use in the capitol and surrounding areas. Who knows what actually made to it the brigade and what disapeared.
The way the relief effort was handled was for the most part like pouring sand down the same rat hole.
Sorry to take away from the thread, just venting on things I've seen down there in the past.
