Apparatus Innovations - Feuerwehr
Here is a tour of a Rescue Company in Denmark I believe. One common feature among fire apparatus outside of the U.S. is that most everything is inside of roll up doors including the pump. While more and more American apparatus is being built with roll up doors instead of regular ones, the pump has held out as a mainstay decoration on the outside of the rig. Only occasionally do I see a picture of an engine or quint with the pump housed behind a roll up door. Thanks to Feuerwehr Weblog for the video.

Hi there,
this is actually a German fire engine, although Danish concepts tend to be quite similar.
Indeed do we have everything stacked away behind roll-up doors. The fire engine in the video has one "americanised" item, though: the horn.
Thankyou for linking to the video! I am actually planning on writing an article about standard German fire engines in English, so stay tuned :)
Kind regards

Well to be honest, I thought it was German at first also. I second guessed myself and changed it. Lesson learned. It is neat seeing the differences between your trucks and ours. Thanks for taking notice of our site.
