First Purchase
This is the first Fire Replica I have purchased. I just opened it today, and wow! This is packed full of details. As I looked at it, there were things I did not remember seeing in the photos when this was released. Incredible job!

The CFD "Quad"
Here is what the clever personnel of the CFD shops did to an FWD Engine. This engine company was assigned to a remote area of growing Chicago, and there was a requirement for a number of tools and ladders to be carried by one of the fire companies, because ladder trucks were not available in the immediate response area for that timeframe. Thus, a solution was to modify an FWD engine to augment some basic truck company needs. Fire Replicas has gone the extra mile, and here we have another rare model for our collections. Job well done Fire Replicas!!!

Great 1953 FWD
Outstanding detail and a great compliment to the 1954 FWD ladder.

Chicago FWD Engine 97
When my wife, who doesn’t appreciate die-cast fire trucks, states to me “That is the best looking fire truck you have ever bought”, there is not really that much more I can add, except another home run classic on behalf of Nick!
