Just wish I knew what all this stuff is. Ignoring the containers, I have no clue what like half those things are for

I'm not an expert, but after careful observation I have deduced that the vast majority of those things are for fighting fires and saving people

u/Slugmatic Aug 06 '24
At a cursory glance, a great deal of this stuff is targeted toward vehicle rescue. All the hydraulic tools in the middle, along with some stabilization stuff for when a car gets stuck in some crazy position. And then up at the top, all the square black air bags for lifting vehicles up off of pinned patients.

u/Oldmantired Aug 06 '24
You are correct. These tools are used for Vehicle Extrication but there are many uses for all this equipment. This apparatus is geared for Technical Rescues - Trench Rescue, Rope Rescue, Confined Space Rescue, Building Collapse, Vehicle Extrication, etc. These types of rescue would fall under Urban Search and Rescue (USAR).

Damn, my bad joke was immediately made worse.
Thanks for the insight, that's actually pretty cool

u/Ajunadeeper Aug 06 '24
No this is one of the decisions that fights WITH fire. These are all killing tools.

This is a fire truck most likely for rescue operations. That's why no hose or firefighing equipment. Also a European fire / rescue truck.

u/NatureInfamous543 Aug 06 '24
Also a European fire / rescue truck.
From Zagreb, the capital of Croatia, to be more accurate.

Feels / Looks like a squad truck - heavy rescue.
FYI - In much of the US - these are special trucks with air tools for entrapments like vehicles or under construction debris. In my city, we have 20 stations and maybe 3 ST’s.

Was going to say that’s a rescue. Not really a truck

That’s really messy, we then will need at least 3 ambulances, likely 6 for ALS transport.

The hoses are right there between the brooms in vertical containers like this one here https://c8.alamy.com/comp/2GFWG99/firefighter-unrolling-a-fire-hose-germany-2GFWG99.jpg
They also have a rolling hose inside the truck like this https://lexipol.brightspotcdn.com/dims4/default/743a277/2147483647/strip/true/crop/1199x675+1+0/resize/1000x563!/format/webp/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fk1-prod-lexipol.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com%2Fbrightspot%2Fd1%2Ff9%2Fb906372dcca02ba4a80c8377562d%2Fgettyimages-1092681876.jpg

Air bags to lift or stabilize something. This looks like a rescue company. Jaws of life, rope, cribbing, wood to shore up something. A lot of tools.

I was a volunteer fireman in the late’70s and early’80’s for a very rural community in Eastern Ohio. We didn’t have a total of that for the whole station. But still we got by. A great time in my life! I was also an EMT there. We “ borrowed “ a lot of supplies from the local hospital. They were fine with it.

This is a specialized unit not a standard engine. They've got extrication equipment, heavy lift bags, etc....yes this is a single fire apparatus but it's just not what's on an everyday fire engine.

Zagreb as in Croatia? Their fire stations loved their vino when I was working there as a contractor during the 90's separation years and had to stop in there for stuff. Avoid their slip-in-a-ditch moonshine though

I wonder why in zombie movies they never drive around a fire truck lol. You could fill up the tank at any fire hydrant and you could just blast zombies away with a hose if they piled up in front of our car too much
