Re: Fire trucks
 

Cliff,

A Morris Commercial 15cwt, looks like a CS8 (six cyl engine), by the aero screens and open cab, but the brush bar is more like a C4 ( four cyl engine). It is possible that late CS8 had this type of bar.

Looks like it belonged to the AEME fire brigade, all I can say is that it appears they built it themselves :p

Richard

looking at the file again it appears it was built using salvaged parts.

unknown crashtender
 

can't find this one in any book. Possibly Australian/ Canadian?
Surabaya late 1940s:

Another unusual one from the AWM.

Yokosuka Naval Base, Japan. Sept1945. Japanese fire engine.

Hi Cliff:
Does this count??
Bill

Not Air Force related but of interest nonetheless to our merry band of brothers. These two views are of a royal Canadia Army Service Corps fire truck before getting kitted out.

Thanks Clive:

1937 Ford with interesting rear wheel equipment.
Rather rare to see that size vehicle with single rear tyres/wheels.

A Hearse?
 

Hello,

Isn't that a hearse, not a fire engine?

I believe the pegs sre there to hold the coffin in place.

No need for dual rear tyres, with just a coffin to carry.

Yes it does
 

Hi Bill

I have some other detailed photographs of this fire tender, The trailer carries a Jupiter pump built by GM-H. The truck is of course a C15A.

Tomorrow I'll post a couple with the nomenclature.

Cute, isn't it.

Here's another nice one
