The first book published exclusively on fire trucks produced by the Pirsch company of Kenosha, Wisconsin. Best known for the invention of the world’s first all-powered aerial ladder, the Pirsch company also produced a variety of fire trucks. From hand-drawn ladder wagons in the 1800s to modern diesel-powered pumpers and aerial ladders, the factory produced thousands of trucks for fire departments, military and private fire brigades all over the world.

Contained in this book are photos of some of Pirsch’s unique apparatus, including a pumper built to travel on railroad tracks and a huge smoke ejector built on a custom-built chassis. Factory photos show the different types of fire equipment and trucks produced on both custom and commercial chassis.

Softbound, 128 pages, 121 photos, 10.25'' x 8.5''
