Here is a little more info to explain the above list.

It's correct, but i have changed somthing , the Hoornaar and Noordeloos stations were separate stations, they have a new firestation for both citys together.

The firestation Nieuwland is closed since 01-01-2000 I wasnt quite sure about the names of the > Hardinxveld-Giessendam fire stations - > maybe one station is at Hardinxveld and > the other station is at Giessendam. Or > maybe Neder and Boven are the 2 locations?

You did it right, i explain something to you, and i must say that the most people who are here for the first time, have problems with your question. Before 1957 there were 2 cities the one called Hardinxveld and the another Giessendam / Giessen Oudekerk. The Hardinxveld area was split into Boven (up) and Neder (down). this up and down had nothing to do with upper and lower lands, but was related to the river the Merwede. Boven( up) was the side of the city upstreams, and Neder ( down) was the downstreams side of the city.(the seaside). After 1957 there was 1 city called Hardinxveld-Giessendam. The Giessen Oudekerk part went to Giessenburg, but also the firebrigade (Giessendam and Giessen Oudekerk) also became a part of Giessenburg. The 2 firestations were on Hardinxveld's area and this is never changed - You was right.

The list is not complete because there is another part on the west site of Dordrecht who is allso the South Holland South Regio. I send you as soon as possible the info . Its time for the coffee so i post it to you, but i send you soon new info. Greetings and take care Ewoud Klop
