BSPP Pompiers Paris Penniche

For many it may seem strange that a city like Paris has a river fire department, but it does exist. Basically it is for rescues in case of accidents in the river. It should be noted that this unit is responsible for the safety of some 100 kilometers of waterways in Paris, including lakes, lagoons, tributaries of the Seine and the sewers. By the way, its members are also divers, since 1993 when it was created have had to rescue many people who have fallen to the Seine in their vehicles. This image is from the river, but it is possible to access the place by the south bank, next to the Quai de Conti.
