Oxford Diecast Ford Transit Mk.I Carlise Fire Service

The popular Ford Transit Mark 1 was widely adopted by many fire brigades for emergency duties and ancillary work. This release in the Oxford Fire range depicts an Emergency Unit commissioned by the City of Carlisle Fire Service in 1967. The vehicle was equipped with various items of rescue and cutting equipment for attending incidents on the city’s network of roads and the motorway. Finished in the novel hi-visibility yellow scheme for increased visibility, it was the only yellow appliance in the Carlisle Fire Service fleet.  It was a novel appliance for its era and is accurately portrayed, even down to the attractive City of Carlisle coat of arms. Registered JHH 942E, our model comes with a roof rack and ladders, plus a blue roof beacon.
