Fire engine responding

1990 Dennis RS pump on bell and lights.

Recorded on 24th May, @ Queen's Road West & Hill Road's junction, Shek Tong Tsui.

I took out the camera from my sack in a hurry when I heard the siren. The camera have not much memory for a longer video, so that I should keep in 10 seconds or less.

Those pumpers fitted with a pair of small rotating beacons and two tone air b4 year 2002. Nowadays 90% of them changed to lightbar and electronic siren.

Nice lighting effect @ night

Fleet number: F450
Station: Kennedy Town
Bodywork: Saxon
Engine: Perkins V8 540
Gearbox: Allison MT545 Automatic
Lightbar: Premier Hazard Maxim
Siren: Premier Hazard, maybe 6009

***And this is my 1st emergency vehicle(s) video***

Listen to that V8 Perkins make its sweet music! Amazing that a 24 year old fire engine is still in front-line service in the developed world, and in as good condition as this!! My 1986 one doesn't even look THAT good!!

But I am not 100% sure that the truck came on run @ year 1984...

BTW, this was a spare truck which stationed in Kennedy fire station in May 2008. Now this truck is retired~

No it's not - this is one of very many original to Hong Kong (though it does look similar to the Essex machines)
