What child hasn't dreamed of a big red fire engine under the Christmas tree or been fascinated by the sights and sounds of firefighters hustling off to a fire?

As adults, those same children delight in collecting the colorful and exciting toys that so enriched their early years. Presented here, in nearly 600 color photos, are the best and most highly collected firefighting toys from the second half of the twentieth century. Fire engines, fire chiefs' cars, firehouses, fireboats, firemen -- if it has the word fire in it, you're sure to find it here! Organized alphabetically by manufacturer, the comprehensive lineup includes toys from Buddy L, Corgi, Fisher-Price, Hubley, Keystone, Marx, Mattel, Nylint, Remco, Structo, Tonka, Tootsietoy, and many more.

  • Good color photos

    If you are a collector or just want to view toys from this period, this is a good addition to your knowledge base and your collection. Remember it covers a later period 1940 - 1990's not often considered antiques.

  • For the little firefighter in your life

    Great book for fans of everything firefighter related. I bought this for an autistic man who loves fire trucks. He used to check it out from the local library where I work and hated to bring it back. Now he has his own copy to keep forever! He loves it!
