Great example, still sporting its bell, but with much later blue beacons and air horns. BY 1933 fire pumps with inside seating and half doors were already quite common, soon to be followed by a trend to roofed in configurations and fully enclosed types.

The same long wheelbase Benz chassis was also used for Metz TTLs. The S 20 designates a 2000 LPM pump, but this generation did not typically have a water tank or hose reel system. 75mm hoses were carried on a large two man hose cart, with 52mm attack hoses in the lockers. Seating was for eight crew members.
