Went to Almoçageme's fire station, in Sintra. I actually went there when I was 6 and here I am again, 10 years later.

European Emergency vehicles seem so small. They also look weird to me.  Cool video though.

[met police999]

Think about it what's the point of having massive vehicles when you can get all you need in a smaller cheaper one and plus Europe has a lot of really small streets

[youdotoo]

Europe does have very small roads.  The down side to smaller vehicles is limited water supply.  

[met police999]

True but there's no lack of hydrants were I am

[youdotoo]

Hydrants are very limited in the united states.

this is our main rescue truck.nicely packed with goodies any first responder would need, minus fire fighting equipment as we are a rescue service , not a fire service.

Here in Portugal we have 5 types of Pumpers. The ones that act in the citys are the Urban Pumpers and generally they have between 2000 and 3500 litters (in my municipality there's one with 5000, its the one on the left gif on my signature xD.)

[Ghost Graphic Designs]

Here's my best vid so far:

 

Urban Pumper 44 responding to a short circuit in the city centre (responding as backup).

 

This urban pumper is housed in the Special Intervention Company, located in Chelas. It's one of the 3 new trucks bought in 2012. These trucks (apart from all of the regular fire engine equipment) have extrication gear, a powerful water cannon, 3000 liters (792,5 gallons) of capacity and a special pump option for foam. And they're simply badass. 

 

The firehouse also has a Rescue-like truck that's on the right (it operates citywide), one of two brand-new Iveco Trakker Ladder trucks, a light MB Vario Pumper, a hazmat truck, a crane, a tow truck, a special fire engine (that operates with the hazmat unit), about 2 reserve engines, 1 large capacity tanker and 2 command/administrative support vehicles.

I was reuploading the image at the time of your post.  The tags and title had gotten all messed up.   Try again. In fact try this link Command 45

Any way the reason for all the pictures was the Adams Area Fire District was placing there brand new Seagrave into Service. So here more pictures of that brand new Rig
