The last twenty-five years have been a period of change. Specialist fire-appliance manufacturers have come and gone, most fire fleets now carry the red and yellow ‘Battenburg’ colour scheme and the quantity, allocation and specialist capabilities of fire appliances are constantly being reviewed to reflect the changing needs of the emergency calls that are received.
In this lavishly illustrated book, John Godwin looks at fire appliances in use over the last quarter of a century, referencing many of the UK and Ireland’s public fire-and-rescue services, as well as reviewing many airport fire-service fleets and industrial and private firefighting operations.
John Godwin is an automotive and transport photographer and author, with a particular interest in emergency service vehicles. For more than thirty years, he has recorded the development and use of police vehicles, fire appliances and other emergency response vehicles, focusing on the UK and Ireland, but also visiting more than fifty countries worldwide. John’s photographs are showcased on his comprehensive website (www.transport.photography) and social media channels. Images have also been used by emergency services for publicity materials and to support their training activities. In the early 1970s, John became a young fan of the classic film The Italian Job. In 2009, he was announced the winner of the Royal Society of Chemistry’s competition to propose a credible solution to the film’s cliffhanger ending. He has visited and photographed many of the filming locations in London, Dublin, and Turin and enjoys researching the history of this popular film.
