With a population of 1.7 million Budapest has 17 fire stations. A typical station assignment includes three pump appliances and one aerial. The third pump is often jump-manned or held in reserve...
Numerous specials are also strategically distributed around the city - these too tend to be jump-manned, as they are turned out relatively infrequently.
The fleet is very up to date and Hungarian firefighting SOPs are largely modeled on German practice, bringing four units with around seventeen personnel to most structure fires.
The yellow striping on this recently acquired Renault is a new feature which I have not seen before.
