As a long time partner of fire-fighters (or as we on Biglorryblog say Sapeurs and Pompiers) as well as local authority fire-fighting and rescue departments, Renault Trucks has set up a dedicated 'Urban Fire-fighting Bodybuilder Department', offering emergency services a single contact capable of responding rapidly to their specific needs. And to further cement that relationship Renault has launched a new, extended cab, Midlum Fire Tender and here it is...
The Midlum's crew cab has been extended by 18 cm and the shape of the bodywork revised to help improve access and egress for fire-fighters, while a special 'fire-fighting' version of Renault's Optitronic auto has also been developed which can reduce fuel consumption by up to 7%...now click through here for more...

It is Sapeurs-Pompiers.

We're still waiting for some kitchen photos, by the way!
