When I first began building Lego fire apparatus, I built 6-stud wide models. But after about 9 months, I wasn't satisfied with the lack of detail offered by building an approximate 1:48 scale vehicle. Then I discovered 8-stud wide models! Woah! The level of detail is so much better, but with this detail comes the use of many more bricks.

Hi, everyone! Although I'm not in the fire service, I discovered a passion for building fire apparatus with Lego a little more than a year ago. My favorite fire apparatus manufacturer, although the company is now defunct, is American LaFrance (ALF). Below are my 3 favorite 8-stud wide apparatus. From right to left are: ALF 700-series pumper/engine ALF 700-series midmount 85' ladder truck ALF 700-series 100' tractor drawn aerial (also known as a hook & ladder)
