POMPIER DE GARE v FIREMAN SAM

The real Fireman Sam exists in France. Recently at the station this diminutive fire engine shot past lights flashing and sirens blaring. Was it Fireman Sam or should I say Pompier Samuel! It was rather amusing a fully working fire engine with 2 firefighters inside but on a very small scale, the fire engine that is, for weaving through the internal areas of a busy station. Whilst I am sure it is very useful and appropriate for the job I'm not sure about the street cred.

Le très petit camion de pompiers.
