Nice! Liking the fire appliances in particular, that MAN URV is a serious piece of kit! Do you know what "pod" it was fitted with by any chance?

I've a keen interest in the fire service, appliances and stations are very interesting subjects IMO. Heres one of my recent efforts -

Not sure what you mean by pod but here are some more engine pics.

The Pod attachment is that large open coantainer in the bottom picture. It hooks up onto the back of the MAN truck there. that looks like a Mass Disrobe and Rerobe Unit which is called to structurally unsound buildings and such as it contains heavy duty rescue equipment and other specialist excavation/search and rescue tools.
Nearly all the services in the UK have USARS (Urban Search And Rescue) like that now stationed at one of their biggest stations (They were supplied by the CLGBN/local governments after Sept 11th). We have 4 here in Cambs, including a Mass Disrobe unit like the one ^ plus a Hose Laying Vehicle and a High Volume Pump, theres also a similar (but with a fixed body) Incident Response Unit too (full of decontamination equipment)

Very nice shots there! some very interesting appliances
