Fire Engines Photos

Blimey that's a rarity!

Kent had a large fleet of Commers at the time, and were among several brigades which commissioned a design like this - which for some reason omitted the perfectly functional front doors. These had a low step height and provided excellent access and egress for the driver and officer, just like the contemporary Dennis fire engines as well as later offerings, including the Bedford TK and Ford D series...

Draping the hose reel along the rear body made it accessible from the ground, but rewinding it meant you needed someone on the roof. Not an ideal arrangement.
