We found it incredible that everything at this station was volunteer and that Maarssen was only a small town. Over the next few days I learned that money and financing of the Fire Service in Holland is not so much a problem as it is in the UK.
After our epic photo session Arnold invited us to the station bar where we had a couple of cold beers - the bar is bigger and more well stocked than most pubs and taverns I have seen and apparently the fire station is like a social club at weekends!
