This town of 38, 000 has a full time fire station with 51 paid firefighters working a four watch rotation, backed up by an additional 46 unpaid volunteer fire staff.

Looking at their website, I thought it was interesting to see that one of their first postwar appliances was an ex British army Austin ambulance, reconfigured as a towing tender for a trailer pump. Unlike many Dutch fire companies, they did not get their hands on a K2 ATV from the former NFS or Army Fire Service.

This fire company does not provide EMS response, and has no ambulances on its roster.

In addition to this ladder, the station now operates two pump water tenders, two brush trucks, an 8000 liter urban water tanker truck, a rescue van, a minor alarm vehicle, a pod carrier with two pods, two light utilities, two trailers and a staff car.
