The brakes had jammed and the smell was horrendous.

Rescue 4 blocking traffic on Bellew Drive during a high-rise hotel fire drill in 1994, it was Holiday Inn at the time and was completely surrounded by open land. I bet now it's surrounded by other hotels and offices.

A blatant copy of the Matchbox generic Airport Fire Engine. I've seen this casting over the years being sold under various different brands. This particular one has City Vehicles packaging which appears to be exclusive to B&M Stores which is where it was purchased. Not too badly cast though is obviously a cheaper copy of the original Matchbox version. Mint and boxed.
A “Green Goddess” fire engine, manufactured in the 1950s, on Belle Vue Lane. Already at this location are a 1949s/1950s French Laffy fire engine and a Green Goddess chassis.
The 4x4 Bedford RLHZ Self Propelled Pump, more familiarly known as the Green Goddess, was a fire engine originally issued to the Auxiliary Fire Service and manufactured from 1953-1956. It is perhaps best known for its use by the army on deployments during strikes by the fire service. Its inherent instability due to no internal baffles for its water tank, led to the death of a soldier on one deployment, when his vehicle overturned. They were not designed as fire engines but as pumps to bring water to cities damaged in a nuclear attack, hence the vehicle's designation. Water could be pumped over a distance by "daisy chaining" units.
The Fire and Rescue Services Act 2004 gave the authorities the power to requisition Fire Service vehicles in the event of strike action by firemen, removing the need for the ancient Green Goddess. The fleet has now been sold off, some to developing countries as fire engines, others to museums.
