Looks like a runabout Marcel, at least I hope thats all it is! Bombers sounds quite ominous!

Bombers could be Spanish for 'Fire' whilst the use of Amber flashing lights suggests a maintenance vehicle rather than a front line appliance.
'Vehicule de formation Incendie' probably translates as 'Vehicle of the Fire Division (fire brigade)'
whilst 'Generalitat de Catalogne could be 'Council of Catalogne' perhaps a legal address.
I am certainly no professional translator, but am basing this on my megre knowledge of Latin (the root of most Western European languages)and a bit of intuitive direction. 'Bomberos' or 'Bomba' (for fire)seems to appear frequently in Latin based languages. The red stripe makes it go faster...

Thankyou Mr Hall! I know that until this year only Spanish Police cars used blue lights, the fire service can now as well. As for the translation, you are close, I Googled it and it came up as fire.
As for the stripe you know my views on those!
