@@Hin14FS-and-AMBi draw more than 20 hongkong fire appliances, the most difficult appliances draw is=turntable ladder (F15), BA pod1, USAR (F2101), Mobile Command Unit (F7702), and hydraulic platform
Once again a great perspective of different appliances used by HKFS. By the way, I will be visiting HK in June, is it easy to film fire stations and appliances?
I would say no too difficult~ Especially in the areas like Mong Kok, Yau Ma Tei, Wan Chai, and some downtown areas, you may catch one or two for just walking down the street. Have a nice trip!🙌🏻
