One of the 7 Ahrens Fox NS2 from 1928 of the Rotterdam FD
6 of them are still in museums or privat collections, the 7th was destroyed in WWII. Some of them were in use till the early 1970ties.

Comments:
Obviously, "The Rolls-Royce of Fire Engines" was really appreciated in The Netherlands; that is an impressive survival rate.

Perhaps, Ed Hass can fill us in, on these exported Ahrens-Fox pumpers.
