Another great model from Fire Replicas. All of their models are fantastic but this one is up at the top. The only improvements would be to have Gage, DeSoto, Captain Stanly, Lopez, Chet and Stoker on the truck.

LA County Ward LaFrance 1974
As a longtime fan of the series "Emergency!" in the 1970s, I absolutely had to have those model when I saw it advertised. I was one of the fortunate few who got one before it sold out. The .O'Dell, like all Fire Replicas models, is absolutely stunning. I compared it to the photos of the actual rig that is displayed at the Los Angeles County Fire Museum, and every detail is replicated perfectly. The hose load, the interior, the decals, all are perfect. This model is a masterpiece. I am certainly looking forward to seeing the 1965 Crown and other LA County rigs in the future. I want a tiller quint so bad I have started saving money specifically for that!

Ward La France engine
This rendition is so much better than past examples of this particular LA County engine. All the essential tools and equipment have been included. Even the most tiny details such as grab handles on the ground letters and jump seats have been added. All the markings for awards of France in LA County fire are accurately depict it in displayed. This model does not disappoint in anyway shape or form.
