a. How many metropolitan fire brigades/departments are there world-wide? and
b. How many high-rise rescue trucks do they have?
By "high-rise rescue trucks" I mean "Snorkels", extension ladder
trucks, hydraulic platform trucks (e.g. Bronto Skylift). I do not
want to know how many fire extinguisher or pump trucks there are.
I am only interested in an estimate of current numbers (totals).
If the answer can be specified by country that would be perfect. In
particular I am most interested in metropolitan fire
brigades/departments that are located in regions where there are
high-rise buildings. I am not interested in small towns or country
fire brigades.
If world wide data are unavailable, the most important countries that
I need the information for include: USA, Canada, Brazil, China, Japan,
Malaysia, Spain, UK, Germany, Netherlands.
Many thanks in anticipation - I haven't done too well finding the answers myself. |
