Note the right hand drive Canadian-built ex British army Chevrolet in this photo. This is a rather rare capture in JP's photo. While by no means as common as the hundreds of ex US army GMC 6X6 chassis adapted by French fire services after WWII, these were also quite often used by them too. They also cropped up in fire service fleets in Belgium and the Netherlands, where there were also a decent number of ex NFS Austin ATVs with trailer pumps.

In addition, ex military Dodge Beeps and Power Wagons also turned up in fire stations in all three countries, and a few of all of these numerous different ex WWII military vehicles found their way to other countries fire services too...
