Walt McCall’s out of print and outdated book, American Fire Apparatus Since 1900 in the Crestline Series, has been referred to as the “Bible” and is the number one reference source recommended by fire apparatus enthusiasts. The old book was arranged by year and required a lot of reading and searching to research individual companies and their fire trucks. Well, now the new “Bible,” is here! From Abbott & Downing to Zwak, this comprehensive volume combines company histories, innovations and hundreds of photographs to present the story of American fire engine manufacturing.
