Fire brigades across the country have rushed replacement engines to the national Fire Service College so training can go ahead as normal.
"It's very much business as usual," said a college spokesman.
With the help of the Chief Fire Officers' Association, replacement appliances were sent from various parts of the country.
"They were all in place by Sunday," said the spokesman.
"Our machine numbers are back up and we are very grateful for their prompt response.
"Everyone rallied round admirably."
