These high volume pumpers with ten-man cabs were once very common in Belgium, with one at almost every fire station. They were mainly Bedford TKs, Renaults and a smaller number of Mercedes, like this one.

Although some are still in use at volunteer fire companies, like this thirty-one year old example, most have been replaced by now with "semi-heavy" pumpers. These have lower volume pumps, bigger water tanks and five or six man cabs.
