While on vacation in Taiwan I decided I'd grab a few apparatus shots: Yilan County, Jiaosi Township Central Station - this is fairly typical for a Taiwanese firehouse, a bunch of apparatus parked in an open bay. More often than not these stations are connected to or near a police station. Most firehouses also have at least one ambulance. Taipei County, Sindian City Hall Station - Most apparatus here are Japanese models like this one. From what I've seen most stations have enough rigs and personnel to handle a decent sized fire themselves. This particular station houses this Isuzu, another large 6-seat Mitsubishi, a smaller 4-seat Fire Wolf, a 2 person bucket aerial, and a few Minivans and various support vehicles. Something you don't see much over in the States...

Some police shots from Yilan County: Mistubishi; notice the row of white scooters behind it, most officers go out on patrol riding those rather the station's 3 or 4 patrol cars. Nissan; a bit of a blurry pic, my apologies: And the obligatory old banger van: And an example of what arguably may be the biggest danger firefighters here face:

Logic dictates that more companies being sent out on rubbish cars = more apparatus on the road = greater chance of an MVA involving a department vehicle. It's not even a matter of the run coming in under the wrong name, it's a matter of gas leaks getting full HazMat responses and Collapse assignments being sent out for a tree down. That's a difference between having 1 company on a box and 9. By UCT misrepresenting an incident you're putting 8 additional companies at risk by putting them on the road when they don't need to be. Also don't forget what New York drivers are like. I wouldn't be so quick to blame an accident on the operator and completely let UCT off the hook.
