Fire Engines Photos

I remember going to entrap Gire Station during the 70's and 80's to Fire displays which where brilliant. I seen the Dennis. AEG Appliances. I also remember the Fire Appliances coming from Ardoyne Fire Station coming through Clonard area. I was young then , it was great to the big Red Fire Appliances racing to a call with Blues and Twoes on. But Unfortunely times change and the old Appliances replace with new Fire Appliance which are able to much more equipment. I am not a Fire Service Member , I have had great interest in the Fire Service from a young age..

see also picture 10577 for Wibe Orbitor. From memory Wibe was a Finnish firm that tried to compete in this country with Simon Snorkel of Dudley but never made many inroads. Bootle had a 65' Orbitor. There were some 50 foot examples as well on PHPs eg Bradford.

Wibe was Swedish not Finnish according to Romar website. My mistake. The Bradford TKML/Wibe 72' Orbitor KKY 999G survives in a transport museum in Keighly, Yorkshire, and there is a photo on their website. The appliance on this page eded up in Kildare after Belfast.
