Port Louis Fire Station Mauritius
This is the very old and dilapidated Central Fire Station in Port Louis the capital of Mauritius - if you look at the date above the bay the Mercedes is in - it says 1906 - The Port Louis Fire Brigade took delivery of the first Merryweather Fire King 'self propelled steam fire engine' I believe ? - I also understand only one such 'Fire King' remains - in Singapore ?
