Fire Engines Photos

Seiwald is an Austrian fire appliance manufacturer, which suggests that this older model Mercedes 12 ton 270 BHP water tender with a 3000 litre water tank may have been acquired from an Austrian fire service source.

The rather natty chrome wheel covers are not likely to have been original equipment, but do help its very well maintained appearance.

The company has not exported directly outside Austria except to one volunteer fire company in Bavaria and to Taiwan, where they delivered 91 foam tanker trucks a few years ago and now supply regular fire trucks to a local assembly affiliate.

Products include almost all types of firefighting vehicles, excluding aerial trucks and airfield crash tenders.

This one was bought from Embach, Austria at the end of 2020.

PS: Did the front picture gone miss somewhere or just I don't see it?

Embach’s volunteers replaced it with a MAN TLFA 4000; they also operate Vario light pump and a personnel van - not bad for a village with 1500 inhabitants!

Petros thanks, but I was looking for the one, I took from the other side because there was a question by Rob Johnson, why it's TLF in description and not TLFA despite of marks on its side. The answer for that is that due to the localization of the engine the marking unwittingly was changed in the documents.

Thank you. For some reason I can't see and find it in miniatures.
