beachcomber australia May the Fourth be with you too! How can you not know..... That on 8th July 2015 we will make our collection of Catholic parish register microfilms freely available online on a dedicated website. These records, which are considered the single most important source of information on Irish family history prior to the 1901 census, consist primarily of baptism and marriage records and date from the 1740s to the 1880s.

I found two look-alikes that are identified as American La France. These aren't definitive. If anyone else finds better information please correct this. I've removed the Osh Kosh tag and added an American La France and Marmon Herrington tag. These suggest the vehicle may be a late 1940s or early 1950s model. I think the pickup is a 1960s model.

It's an American La France O-10, O11 A or O-11B. As used by the USAF as a Airfield Crash Tender. Built between 1951 and 1959. And in use until 1970s.

Thank you, Dirk de Vor!
Dirk de Vor said:
I have finally got the definite answer. The Fire Crash Tender is an A.L.F. Type: O11-A. (The O-11B had a split dual cab door as seen in the second photo from 'Precious Amount' in the comment above).

This may be the earliest motorised fire engine in the world. I believe the date is earlier to 1900, than 1910.

Parked next to a pile of furnace coke.

Looks like the vehicle has quite a high centre of gravity - and the passenger clinging on to the ladder says everything about health and ... what was that other word? Great image.
