Nomenclature
In the nomenclature of the National Ministry of the Interior, multiple types of vehicles have been classified for the use along the fire services:

The Brandværnbil is the classical fire engine, featuring a pump and a water tank of at least 1,600 litres. The RBVB is similar in appearence to a BVB, fut features additional equipment for technical rescue, e.g. hydraulic spreaders and cutters. The Tankbil is a water tanker, featuring a water tank of least 5,000 litres as well as a pump. In exchange to its large water tank, the loadout of additional equipment is rather small. The TBVB is a hybrid between the Tankbil and the BVB. It has a larger equipment loadout then the TB and a larger water tank than the BVB (usually 3,000 to 4,000 litres). The SBVB is esentially a TBVB with reduced equipment loadout and a specialised loadout and chassis for forest and wildland fire fighting. The Redningsbil is a rescue vehicle, carrying a variety of equipment for technical rescue missions, e.g. hydraulic tools, lifting bags, winches and more. Some RBs are even equipped with cranes.
