Corgi Fire Vehicles ~ American La France_Denver
Denver Fire Department 6th April 1993
The wooden city of Denver, Colorado was plagued by fires throughout the 1860s and 1870s. A single fire destroyed 70% of the city's leading businesses. During this time, Woody Baker Hose Co. and other volunteer provided fire protection for the city but their protection was proving to be inadequate. So, the public demanded a paid fire department and Denver's first motorized fire apparatus was delivered in 1909.
Superb die-cast model; Authentic replica with realistic details; the model comes with firemen figures inside the cabin and cockpit; Limited edition certificate no3318 of 7500 worldwide.
