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

[Enrique]

I was VERY happy to see this - a Dennis Rapier MkII Tankautospuiten.

For your information, this DENNIS was a demo-car of Dennis in Holland. It was used to let firebrigades in Holland test drive with it (and work with it), to promote DENNIS. After a year or so, DENNIS sold it to the Ridderkerk firebrigade. It was used in Ridderkerk for several years, first as the first pumper, later as the 2nd, and later as the 3rd. A couple of years ago it went to the regional company school of the Rotterdam-Rijnmond fire brigade. This year's the last year for this pumper in Rotterdam-Rijnmond. It will be replaced.

Nice fire trip! Could you make a extra topic with Englisch fire department verhicles with information? A interresting topic i think! More people who want to see that?

The white CF75 is not a fire truck. It belongs to the The Hague Publich Health Services and serves as a mobile health research utility.

Thanks for the information Enrique, glad I had the chance to see it.

Thank you for the information, we have similar vehicles in the UK.

The next day we travelled to the town of Zoetermeer and to Stadshart station. This is a DAF LF Tankautospuit with Ziegler body - it is from 2012.

Also at Stadshart was this very nice Hoogwerker - it is a DAF CF75/Wumag/Metz B32. My notes say this was formerly from Monster?

That's correct, normally we have the 15-5250  at fire station Stadshart. I have missed what the reason is why our own arial is away, but i think is due to a technical problem.

Till 2012 it was at Monster, now its standing in Naaldwijk. The reason was that if the 15-6450 had an emergency they could be faster on scene then when they would leave from station Monster.
