Documentary FIRE trucks!

[AlwaysOnAuto]

Thought it might be nice to see a thread devoted to the fire fighters and their trucks from around the world.
Here's one from my neck of the woods that was out this morning.

Almost couldn't fit it in. Good thing I had the 24mm mounted this morning.

Wow, that's some truck. Maybe your fires are bigger in the United States!

Really was 'trouble at mill' then (I know people never actually used to say that and that the phrase is originally sourced from a fictional book).

I really like all of these - although for the last image I misread it as "Gefährliche Brauerei"

Great idea for a thread, AoA .

Taken with the Mitakon Speedmaster 25mm f/0.95...I'm noticing some very funky triangular shaped bokeh "balls" in the upper right corner of this image that I haven't previously noticed with this lens.

This past weekend I had the opportunity to see some interesting fire trucks/cars. It was a real pleasure talking to the owners who actually used them. But first, some of the present day engines that were at the car show.

I hate to say it but the resized pictures don't do justice to the images my camera is producing.
Here's a study in contrasts of control features, past and present.
