Fire Truck World’s Photo Gallery includes multiple images of nearly a thousand vintage fire trucks from around the world. The "Fire Gallery" also includes firehouses, museums, warehouses, and "out of service" roadside vehicles. Fire-related postage stamps, artwork, vintage photographs, and a wide range of firefighting apparatus images are also featured.
This collection began on a 10-year, 150,000-mile bicycle journey in the mid-1980s. With so many firehouses safeguarding vintage fire apparatus and local and national fire museums, the collection quickly grew.
The red "You are here" box located near the top of all Gallery pages can be used for easy navigation. Each item in that box is a "Back" link.

Fire Truck World
Initiated on a 10-year, 150,000-mile worldwide mountain bicycle journey, Fire Truck World is the continuing work of travel photographer Millard Farmer. While traveling through foreign countries and keeping an eye out for fire stations, firefighters were a great source of information: getting directions, finding cheap hotels, the best restaurants, local attractions, and of course a chance to fill up water bottles and take a break from the sun. These frequent stops also provided an opportunity for friendship, learning about fire equipment, and photographing the retired apparatus often stored behind the station's sacred walls.
Often, fire stations maintained small fire museums and displays featuring historical equipment that was no longer in service. With its colorful, and sometimes tragic history, this apparatus was the very soul of the station. Soon after hearing several stories and legends, and witnessing the pride in those telling them, Fire Truck World was born.
