Here are the latest Replicas from Fire Replicas
Ladder 44 can be ordered now
Engine 113 can be ordered
The Seagrave demo can be ordered

The Spartan CFD and Detroit should be released in the next few months on the Fire Replicas website.

Fantastic stuff! Can't wait.

Thanks for sharing

Thanks for the photos Joe, my credit card is safe until they finally decide to make something some this side of the country. I know CFD and FDNY make money, but I can't believe San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle, Las Vegas, Phoenix, CalFire, etc, etc aren't popping up. Personally, I'm over the FDNY band wagon but I understand why the market relies on them. They are amazing pieces but I still have my fingers crossed for something out west.

This. It's like Code 3 all over again with FDNY release after FDNY release.

I'm fine with the FDNY and CFD releases as long as there are some vintage pieces mixed in from time to time. Fingers crossed that an interface engine or tender might make it into the mix someday.

Totally agree. Fire Replicas makes beautiful pieces and we should be thankful they are around (I am thankful), but some west coast love would be great.

Troy,
I would agree it would be nice to see something out west however no departments are jumping on the band wagon with FR. I know it will happen, just don't know when.

At this point there is no doubt that Chicago and NY keep sending information and agreements to get trucks done. I Think there's a good chance to see some different departments down the road from the few that showed interest at the EXPO, than again until they sign agreements it may not happen. Where's that San Diego guy he needs to reach out to me

The vintage is definitely going to grow and stay part of the product line Nicholas loves this part of his release's. They take longer because getting all the correct blueprints and sizing done for the trucks is a must to get that 100% point in time accuracy. They will be from cities, or OEM's that agreements are with. The Autocar's and Water Tower's are prime examples of some older classics.The Chicago Ward/Ranger is a 80's model. There are defiantly a few more coming early next year

Glad to know that vintage pieces will continue to be part of the product line. Given the price, it's not a bad thing to have the releases spaced out a bit.
