Snowy Mountains Hydro Fire Truck

History

The 2008 Eastern Creek photograph identifies this as a 1960 vehicle formerly used by the Snowy Mountains Hydro-Electric Authority, fitted out by Firefly of London. The curved rear shoulders, elevated hose reel, sloping pump panel, gauges and roof equipment follow that photograph. Front details use the requested Series II base; unseen fittings are conservative. Handling is game tuning.
