Additions, corrections, and comments to this database are welcome. We gladly accept scanned images and information about apparatus, or suggestions of other sources of information. Please contact us by using the COMMENTS section at www.thefiremuseum.org/fire-apparatus/. Thank you.
In some cases, vehicles were modified during their years in service. Due to space limitations, only one photo is displayed, but the chronology of assignments and modifications are listed.
Many departments and photographers have provided images to this project. All photographs have been credited, and that credit is overlaid on the vehicle in an attempt to protect it from unsolicited copying. Please respect the images.
