Firemaster at the Duplex fire
Here is another picture of the Darlington Firemaster at work. It was taken at the Duplex garage fire in the 1960’s. The photograph is courtesy of the local newspaper - ‘The Northern Echo’. If you Google ‘Norther Echo Duplex Fire’ there are more pictures of this and other classic fire appliances at work.
