Mijn Brandweer-reis naar Nederland / My Fire Trip to Holland

[BritishAndy]

Hi Guys,

I have returned from my trip to Holland which was four days of travelling around taking photographs of fire vehicles. Some of the vehicles I photographed I do not know what type or use they are for, and some are old timers, therefore I think I will put all of them in the one topic.

I have to admit, I had a fantastic time in your country - everyone was so friendly and helpful, especially all the fire crews I met. We were lucky as we had really good weather and managed to visit some great Fire Brigades.

I would like to thank everyone on this website who helped me with suggesting locations, maps and offers to visits. You are all very kind and if any of you are ever in the UK then give me a shout and I will return the favour.  

First I will post pictures of Brandweer Maarssen. We are really grateful to Arnold van Leeuwen from this website who offered to show us the vehicles. Arnold is a great guy and allowed us to get some good pictures. Thank you Arnold and great to meet you!
