This one is from my archives - I took it last year at the beginning of the St Patrick's Day parade and I'm not sure why it never got posted. It is a 1945 pumper truck from Scarborough which is the eastern end of Toronto. In 1945 Scarborough was its own township and not yet part of Toronto and so had its own fire department. This truck is a beauty don't you think?

It's a beauty and very cool, I'm sure the "boys" will love it. ;-)
That;s a beauty!
I agree, very beautiful! And love that shade of red. :)
They don't make them like this no more.
Looks good in that street!
I do like the looks of these old pumpers!
Lovingly cared for over the years! Someone's pride and joy!
A beauty indeed, and it's older than I am, although in much better condition.
Great shot.

Great shot, pat. I am a sucker for old fire trucks so this is marvellous.
Great antique!
You're right Red Pat, it is a beaut. Can you imagine the thrill of hanging onto the side of that when you get a shout? Have a good weekend pal....
