Re: 8 Shops Burn Down in Market Fire
Why do the Fire Engines have "Police" written on them?
Re: 8 Shops Burn Down in Market Fire
Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe Cambodia only has a few fire departments in the whole country and generally it's the police department operating these vehicles.Doc67 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 17, 2021 10:55 amWhy do the Fire Engines have "Police" written on them?CEOCambodiaNews wrote: ↑Wed Nov 17, 2021 10:47 am

Re: 8 Shops Burn Down in Market Fire
Sounds plausible that it much of the fire fighting comes under the purview of the police department (for Cambodia), but it doesn't exactly answer why the word FIRE is not part of its decals. An "ambulance" always has that word on them, regardless who operates them.ItWasntMe wrote: ↑Wed Nov 17, 2021 10:57 amCorrect me if I'm wrong but I believe Cambodia only has a few fire departments in the whole country and generally it's the police department operating these vehicles.Doc67 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 17, 2021 10:55 amWhy do the Fire Engines have "Police" written on them?CEOCambodiaNews wrote: ↑Wed Nov 17, 2021 10:47 am

Re: 8 Shops Burn Down in Market Fire
The fire department is part of the national police here. I agree it looks sort of strange having POLICE on the side of a fire truck though?
Silence, exile, and cunning.

The cynic might think that the police chief might want everyone to know that the big shiny red truck with flashing lights is under his control.Doc wrote: Why….?
As the writing isn’t in Khmer, then from a traffic awareness point of view it’s rather out of place. In addition to not being mirror view. Not that any of the super important denizens actually give a hoot that there’s an ambulance stuck in traffic behind them, let alone a shiny red police truck with water decanters.

somewhere there are probably a few police cars with "FIRE" written on the side
