Single-sourced article about a smalltown volunteer fire department. As always, fire departments are a fairly
run of the mill topic: there are many, many thousands or possibly even millions of them in the world, and they all do more or less the same things, so they cannot all be "inherently" notable enough to have Wikipedia articles just for existing. Rather, making a fire department notable enough for inclusion requires writing and sourcing some genuine substance for why this fire department might credibly be significantly more notable than most other fire departments.
But this article does nothing of the sort, just writing that it exists, cataloguing its fleet of vehicles and then single-sourcing the whole thing to just one chapter of a local history book, which is not enough sourcing to get the topic over
WP:GNG all by itself.

- Actually, if you open the Wikipedia article Zaprešić, where this particular FD is listed, it is written that this FD is one of oldest of its kind in Croatia. Besides, English Wikipedia has zero articles about Croatian fire departments from what I can see. Franjo Tahy ( talk) 18:30, 9 September 2022 (UTC)
