Fire Engines: The Gatefold Collection

Fire has always fascinated mankind. It is beautiful, yet capable of causing hideous damage; a useful tool, but one able to wreck unimaginable destruction if not kept under the strictest control. The Gatefold Book of Fire Engines includes full-colour, annotated photographs of 36 superb Fire Engines, ranging from the 1920 Prospect/Ford and the 1922 Bickle/International Harvester up to the Leyland Firemaster, the Maxim F26270 and the AEC Merryweather. Each gatefold pull-out includes detailed data and specifications, with descriptions of the history, dimensions, performance and engine size of the car. Packed with information about these legendary workhorses, The Gatefold Book of Fire Engines will appeal to fire-truck fans the world over.
