Lanzarote - Dealing With The Emergency Services

    Hey all,



    Not certain just yet, but it looks like I'll be heading off with a group of people in about October to Lanzarote for a week. Did it last year and had a laugh.

    Anyway, I have a strong interest in the emergency services (globally) and particularly their vehicles. A little personal project (for lack of a better word) I'm doing, is trying to photograph emergency service vehicles whenever and wherever I can.


    I've contacted Àn Garda Sìochàna about photographing their stuff in Drogheda, I've already photographed everything at the Drogheda Fire & Rescue Station and I'm putting the HSE on the long finger.


    So I'd like to try to apply this to Lanzarote, too, and hopefully spend a day over there photographing the Emergency Service vehicles.

    I took this whilst there last time, but it was a snapshot photograph I took as quickly as I could before the Police came back;

    (Selective colouring may seem odd, but I was just trying it out!)

    I'd like to try and get a chance to get photos of the cars parked and have permission, etc.

    So anyway... I was wondering if anyone has any idea how to go about doing this?

    With Àn Garda Sìochàna, Fire & Rescue, etc. it was pretty much just a case of sending a letter to the relevant person in the station, getting a reply and waiting for a suitable time.

    However, with a very strict time-frame (one week) and a language barrier, It's obviously not going to be as straight-forward with Lanzarote.


    So I was just wondering, does anyone have any advice? Information? Contact information? etc.?

    Would I get away with English or will I need someone to translate any letters/emails, etc. to Spanish?


    Thanks in advance to anyone able to help out. I'm aware this is a bit of an odd ball thread, but Google's giving me nothing.

    Cheers :)
