Illustrated Encyclopedia of American Fire Engine
by Walter M. P. McCall
|
|
|
|
|
From Abbott & Downing to Zwak, this comprehensive volume
combines company histories, innovations and hundreds of
photographs to present the story of American fire engine
manufacturing. The objective of this book was to compile as
comprehensive and complete a list as possible of the known
players—the hundreds of companies that produced more than just
one or two fire trucks, and which operated as continuous fire
apparatus manufacturing and sales enterprises. In the main this
book is an alphabetical listing of dedicated motor fire apparatus
builders—companies that designed and built pumpers, ladder trucks,
rescue and other types of motor fire apparatus in their own
factories—from the frame-up on their own custom chassis or on
commercially-available domestic truck chassis. Also included are a
number of commercial chassis makers such as International,
Freightliner, Kenworth and Peterbilt which forged special alliances
with various fire apparatus builders, and which sometimes made and
marketed fire apparatus under their own names. This encyclopedia
is a vital reference source for libraries, fire station, historians, fire
apparatus enthusiasts, and anyone involved in or enamored with the
fire apparatus industry.

Fighting Fire: Trucks, Tools and Tactics
In powerful, on-the-scene pictures and text,
author/photographer Shapiro explores the special
techniques and equipment brought to bear on fires in cities
and suburbs, rural outposts and wilderness, in homes and
industrial structures. He also takes a close look at hair-raising
rescues and other "non-firefighting" tasks that firefighters find
themselves facing. From bold photography and detailed
descriptions of fire fighting to close-up looks at the fire house
and its full array of equipment--trucks, ladders, pumpers, and
tankers--this book conveys both the technical nitty-gritty and
the fiery action of meeting and containing one of nature's
most brutal forces.
