If you burned your popcorn on the stove while fixing it, at least in Germany, you would call for this Mercedes-Benz vehicle to show up.
Here are some mostly phone-camera snaps of the 1/43 TLF-50 M-B truck from Yat Ming's firetruck series very nicely done in both 1/24 and 1/43. I got this Y-M replica many years ago at a home improvement store.

If I had a fire and had my choice - I'd want this truck to respond!
GREAT photos Mike!!

Thanks ! Well, I guess if you are going have some scorched popcorn, you would want this attractive Mercedes-Benz vehicle to show up to deal with the situation .....

@perrone1 I'd go for a 'Murican truck myself. The hose connections on German trucks may not fit our hydrants!
