It is quite common for specialist fire apparatus builders to build other specialist trucks, particularly garbage trucks. A prime example would be Dennis in the UK. ........ Hi guys, nice to be here. I am a brand new member to Firefighter Nation and I am very pleased to find some fellow firefighters here with photography, model building and collecting interests. I am from New Zealand where we have a real variety of fire apparatus from different manufacturers around the world including many from the US. For example here in Auckand we have one of the few if not the only Aerialscope outside the US.
