A very handy amd manuverable unit, they were used as pumpers, rescues and also occasionally carried a Magirus 18 meter turntable ladder. Because of their Italian origin, they were mainly used by the VdF in Italy, where they carried an OM or Fiat badge, but a few were also sold as Magirus Deutz in Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium. In France they were badged Unic, but I believe their numbers were quite small.
