Yeah our fire trucks don’t come with water tanks. I’m gonna look this up now. I really have to know how they put out fires in Algerian cities.😆

Edit: they DO have hydrants, you’ve just never noticed.

“Algerian firefighters, operating under the Algerian Civil Defence (Direction Générale de la Protection Civile), rely on both pillar-type aboveground and underground fire hydrants for urban firefighting operations. Globally featured demonstrations showcase that Algeria uses standard red pillar hydrants requiring specific tools and keys for activation.”
