Real Cuerpo de Bomberos Voluntarios de Santander, Volunteer fire station in Plaza Numancia, Santander, Spain.
The fire brigade operates from a central station built in 1905, equipped with three fire engines and two off-road vehicles for emergency responses.
The organization formed in 1894 following the Cabo Machichaco steamship explosion of 1893, which caused 500 deaths and 2,000 injuries in Santander.
The fire station conducts regular educational programs in schools, teaching children about fire prevention, first aid, and cardiopulmonary resuscitation techniques.
Located at Plaza Numancia 6, the volunteer fire brigade works alongside the municipal fire service to provide emergency response services in Santander.
King Alfonso XIII granted the organization its royal title in 1901, making it one of the few volunteer fire brigades with royal recognition.
