    Great clip. Reminded me very much of being a lad. There was several retained firefighters that lived near me. You could tell when they got a call as they used to race off down the road in their cars, engines racing and tyres squealing. Sometimes me and my friend would jump on our bikes and pedal like mad the mile-and-a-bit to the station to catch them turning out. Over the years the fire engines were Bedford TKs, Ford Ds (like the first-away above), and then Dennis RSs. I stopped chasing them by the time they became Sabres and Scanias. Well, on my push bike anyway!

One station I was on had a Bedford HCB-Angus WrL with a 4.2 litre Jaguar petrol engine.

Plus they probably wouldn’t have been seen in metropolitan Sydney too often as the FB used the D200s for retained stations in the regional/country towns.
