Yet another new Matchbox MBX Fire Dasher, from the 2021 Case E. Grey plastic is a reminder of this little castings low price point, particularly in the US, but its body is made of metal and as generics go its classic American era styling is entirely believable. Mint and boxed.
Called-out to an alleged conflagration on the beach at Eastbourne (New Zealand) this splendid and immaculate Dodge Commando fire appliance from the local brigade makes wonderful Perkins v8.540 noises as it moves along the seafront. It was a G1513 model and was fitted with automatic transmission.

"Specialist rescue team" with inflatable pontoon boat on standby by the look of it. It's been raining heavily, but not that heavily.

A deliberately generic Fire Engine by Matchbox. Nice shape but couldn't they have used their many licensed castings? Anyway, this was bought this year as part of a 5 vehicle set. Mint and boxed.
The fire brigade put on a demonstration of a rescue of casualties from a burning building using the ladder.
This is a Freightliner Columbia tractor one of my favorite big rigs. I don't know what it is used for, maybe pulling a USAR trailer. I took these pics a few years ago so it may have stripes & badging by now, not sure. I edited out reflection from the sun on the windshield in 2 of these pics.
Looking like something from a 1970's science fiction movie is this pseudo futuristic looking Fire Engine by Suntoys. Although the vast bulk of their 1/64 castings are unlicensed they are usually based on real vehicles but now they have joined the craze of designing a range of completely original fantasy themed vehicles which bare no relation to anything on the road. That isn't really part of my collecting styles but there is something rather appealing about this model in a quirky kind of way and wouldn't actually look too out of place in either the HW or MBX ranges. Part of a five vehicle set currently available in Wilkinsons. Mint and boxed.
