Quite a few, actually, a number of Mack CF pumps as well as the handful aerials, the MC aerial, Spartans at Parnell, Hamilton, and Auckland Airport.

I thought that China was the only "non-American" country that had American fire trucks. But the moment I saw this compilation of classic fire trucks from New Zealand I was stunned to see American trucks, also in that island country.

I didn’t know china had any. Chile has some American rigs, and they’re quite interesting.

That Spartan Charger is still part of the Relief fleet, and still sees action

Look up the Santiago De Chile Fire Department. Most companies there have North American style rigs mixed with some Iveco's or Man's.

Now as far as I know, Papakura still operates their old Scania tanker truck. I think the old Mitsi and Scania pump trucks have since been replaced but those were run up until the past few years.

Some great catches there my friend, I remember the Internationals going around Christchurch doing their business, and I also remember that Christchurch had a MACK very similar to the one in your videos, but not as long, best regards from a Christchurch lad now living in Melbourne.

LF04 and TL205 are great examples of what happens when you give a department a proper truck! Especially 205; Mack's were made to outlive them all back then. Those, ahem, "Turntable Platform Ladders" that are made today are a joke. Can't knock the engines at all though, the Dennis's were good rigs and Scania makes a nice engine (even if the lack of a hosebed is rather depressing). Also, love the orange and blue on the PD cruisers, that's incredibly unique.
