Fire Engines Photos

Hi Marcel,
Thanks for the pics very nice, that's true Belgium N. Day falls 7 days after the French one.
Interesting to see that "POMPIERS" and "BRANDWEER" can drive side by side.

Hi Jacques,
Belgium is still a two (and even three) language state. In Brussels The police cars and the ambulances in Brussles have the two languages on their vehicles.

Hi Ian, I'm living in the Netherlands, so I really don't know this museum. Perhaps a Belgium visitor to our website ?

Specially interresting to know : in this Water Tender, two twins sisters ! Rita (driver) and Isabelle Clement !

Thanks, Michel; now, we are all peering into the wind-shield of this fire engine - darn reflections.

I can only make out a driver and steering wheel, with my bi-focal spectacles......

Having twins on the fire-ground; must make for an interesting time for the officer.

Regards, from Canada,

Hi marcel , re comment on 30 july 09 (leyland cub). This is in a museum called Autotron at Rosmalen in Holland do you known if it is still open? Thanks ian mc

Added by Ian Mc on 09 August 2010.

Hi Ian, Autotron Rosmalen is still open but it is now a Convention centre.
A new car museum is opened this year, and some of the collection from the Autotron was brought here.
You can see it on www.louwmanmuseum.nl, unfortunately only in Dutch :-(
