And … a visit to the headquarters of the Vigil del Fuoco in Milan, the second largest facility in Italy behind Rome. Incredibly, there are over 30 units housed in this facility without counting the support vehicles … cars, small trucks, buses, and vans … they have roughly 60 per shift operating out of the location including several pumpers, two aerials, two cranes, a scuba team with several boats, a hazmat/CBRNE team with six units, an excavator, end loader, dump trucks, a flatbed tow truck with a crane, communications unit and more.
