IIRC Huanghe avenue fire station is also where the Anyang fire and rescue's headquarters is located.

Anyang is a smaller town for chinese standard(5.4 million) so their stuff may be more outdated.

Additionally the Dongfeng 140 continued production until 2011.

I myself grew up with the white ambulance livery and used to think the yellow livery was ugly but now that i've gotten used to the yellow livery i find the yellow livery much cooler and the white livery kinda bland.

I also heard that in terms of praticality the yellow ambulance is easier to spot in stuff like fog

A rear-mount 103' stick ladder truck used by Fire Station 36, in place of the original, and very long mid-mount Tower 36, which has been out of service for a while. The station is expecting to receive a Pierce mid-mount as a replacement.

Funnily enough this is built in norinco's Harbin 1st machinery group(哈尔滨第一机械集团有限公司), which is the same company(and factory) making china's tanks and cannons. (rather ironic if you think about it, lifesaving rescue equipment and war machines from the same company; Norinco itself is more famous for their guns and tanks but this irony goes all the way to the factory itself)

FYI national mine rescue teams(also sometimes referred to as battalions) are specialized rescue units under the ministry of emergency management(also in charge of the national fire and rescue administration); they are responsible for disaster relief, rescue and firefighting in mines(in this case, coal mines).
