Fire Engines Photos

The Geesink mechanincal ladder was elevated by a twin chain mechanism, like the contemporary Metz, when most other brands were screw operated. (This was a few years before hydraulic rams were introduced around 1957).

This same normal control Bedford chassis was used quite often in Belgium and Holland for both pumpers and ladders, but for some reason it seems to have very rarely been included in contemporary UK fire brigade fleets.....
