MOC: 4wide water rescue unit

Recommended Posts

Hello all!

The next one (of my 120+ firetrucks, containers and trailers :grin: ) I want to show you is a water rescue truck in combination with a boat on a trailer. This unit carries rescue divers and a lot specific equipment to the scene. The truck is highly recommend for rough and/or weak terrain. The boat (which features a solid aluminum hull) carries a powerful outboard motor and a lot of equipment for the first responders. It's quite basic-built, but features the typical bicolor paint scheme and the drive train as a little more detail under the car. Like every MOC of mine this truck also features some epuipment like the divers' suit, a respirator and a special platform to rescue people from thin ice.

Finally a picture of the complete a water rescue squad that will be released when an incoming emergency call is indexed by the dispatchers with the word "water". It features from the right: incident command van, pumper (also equipped with stuff for the technical assistance, water rescue truck (divers truck), boat truck and a crane and a rescue van.

Excellent job Farnheim! 120+!? I love the boat and trailer with the truck. Your little 4W's are always a pleasure to see :classic:

Thank you very much. Well, we've counted them during the exhibition "Bricking Bavaria" last November. Here's a little sneak preview of what I've done in red so far... :wink:

Thank you all a bunch!

Impressive collection, you have got there Farnheim. Do you make the fire logos yourself?

No, I don't print any images myself. These door logos (and all others e.g. the red cross) are all regular printed parts.

I prefer these to the bigger official firetrucks which I think tend to get too big, I am going to have borrow some of your techniques to make my town vehicles slightly smaller. Great work.

Wow, this picture just blew my mind! So much love for old school 4 wide. And the old fire logo on the doors are a great touch. Great job everyone who's keeping the old style town vehicles alive!

Cool Water Rescue vehicle and boat. I like how it resembles a 4x4 capability. Also like the line up of your 'water' incident PDA.
