Another 2021 Case C recolour of the Matchbox Hazard Squad found on the pegs of a Poundland recently in long cards not originally destined for this country.
I'm still a fan of this generic after all these years with this particular release looking pretty fresh utilising the corporate colours of Matchbox.
Mint and boxed.
This 40/60hp Gobron-Brillié began life as a seven-seater touring car and was operated on chauffeur-driven charter trips between London and Paris by Westminster Bridge Garage. Around 1910 it was sold and converted for use as an estate fire engine and was fitted with a Merryweather Valiant steam pump. The increased weight of the fire fighting equipment led to the vehicle being fitted with stronger lorry wheels and solid tyres.
Founded by Gustav Gobron and Eugene Brillié in 1898, Gobron-Brillié was one of the best known early French car manufacturers. They were famous for the opposed piston engines which were designed by Brillié. Although he left the firm in 1903, his engines continued to be used until the early 1920s by which time the company was known as Automobiles Gobron. The last Gobron cars were built in 1930.

If you've always wanted to see what it's like to be a firefighter, you may request to visit a fire station and ride along with a crew.
Applicants must be at least 18 years old and a resident of the West Metro Fire Protection District.
WMFR offers a fire truck visit once each year to your preschool location. Please note: we need at least 4 weeks advance notice to schedule a visit. At this time, we do not have funding to send presenters into the preschool classrooms. However, teachers may request a copy of the “Tools Not Toys” lesson to deliver in their classrooms.
West Metro Fire Rescue also loves going out into the community. Whether it be a birthday/milestone celebration or a community/school event you can request that West Metro come with one of our rigs (fire apparatus) to talk about the fire service, show off the rigs, do bunker gear demonstrations, and answer any questions you might have.
In honor of the Arcadia fireman, Mike Herdman, who recently passed away.

Taken, I suspect, quite early in the morning in Central New York during a visit there in April 1981, this picture shows two FDNY fire engines, plus a NYPD truck. The two fire engines are No.65 on the far side of the street and No.23 nearest to the camera. The NYPD vehicle is No.18. Any help with the type of vehicles pictured or the exact location would be much appreciated.
From what I can see most products of Xinze appear to be copies of Matchbox and Hot Wheels. As I don't actively collect generics I can't say whether this pseudo-futuristic Fire Engine is a copy from those brands or somebody else or a Xinze original. I have a sneaky feeling in a perverse way that its actually copied from the Toys R Us Fast Lane generic Fire Engine! Part of a six vehicle set. Mint and boxed.
On the beam above the doors are carved the words, 'Fire Engine'. This was the village fire station, looking quaintly medieval, but built in Victorian times, and now an electricity substation. Singleton, West Lancashire.
Operated by the South Wales Fire and Rescue Service and seen on the A48 in Newport, South Wales.
It carries containers which are called "Equipment Pods".
