I think there are mainly 3 fire engines involved - I'm calling this one (easily the biggest, with turntable ladder carried horizontally) Fire Engine 3. Which probably makes it the nearest one and last one to emerge as they all start coming out of the fire station a bit earlier

Morris-Dennis is new to me? - So further info required. -- Last edit: 2016-01-26 17:55:46

Sunbar ◊ 2016-01-26 18:54	Presumably Dennis chassis with Morris-Magirus turntable ladder? ... Morris Magirus turntable ladders were badged for John Morris & Co, the Magirus importer in to the UK, but they had no connection to Morris Motors http://www.fire-engine-photos.com/picture/number26110 -- Last edit: 2016-01-26 18:55:29
