This range of fire models were originally released in the UK as club editions by subscription, posted monthly. The American versions differ in the box styling. There seems to be some confusion on the numbering with catalogues offering one number with the model having another.

Series I (YFE01 - YFE06)
From the '20s to the '40s, companies that specialized in fire fighting apparatus and manufacturers of the world's great automobiles produced effective fire engines. They included innovative designs for fighting blazes in tall buildings, as well as simple adaptations of existing trucks for quick response to fires. Today, five of the most important fire trucks from this golden era have been created in the only die-cast collection of its kind. Each model in the collection is so faithful to the original that it has been approved for historical accuracy by experts at the Fire Brigade Society.

Series II (YFE07 - YFE12)
It was the Golden Age of Fire Fighting. From the looming ladders that rescued people from tall buildings...to the support vehicles that carried extra water, hoses and searchlights, the world's finest manufacturers of fire fighting equipment created one innovation after another. Now twelve of the most important vehicles have been recaptured in all their glory.
Each is a masterwork of die-cast engineering, crafted with all the gleaming gauges and apparatus found on the originals. The entire collection is authenticated for historical accuracy by the Brigade Society of Manchester, England.

Series III (YFE013 - YFE018)
These vintage vehicles helped fire fighters do their jobs every bit as much as the fire engines themselves. The '53 Ford F-100 pickup often arrived at the nick of time carrying hoses and other apparatus. The Citroen Type H Van was outfitted to enable the firemen of Longueville, France to transport the extra ladders that were essential in battling big fires. Six models in all, representing the most diverse assembly of fire fighting support vehicles ever developed by world class truck and automakers.

Series IV (YFE019 - YFE24)
The first gas-powered fire engine ever used in the U.S. - the 1916 Ford Model T - is recaptured with its hose running all around the vehicle, its tool box on the side and its vacuum bladder, pumping system and fire extinguisher. The 1907 Seagrave AC53, which extinguished fires with chemicals, comes equipped with photo-etched screen doors that open to reveal its intricate engine. Each replica in this fascinating collection recreates one of the most famous fire fighting vehicles in history. And each is crafted to the highest level of die-cast engineering - with functional opening compartments and all the functional opening compartments and all the hoses, pumps guages, horns and lanterns found on the originals.

Series V (YFE25 - YFE30)
The US Forest Service needed a truck that could prevent a brush fire from destroying valuable wilderness. The Royal Navy needed a four-wheel drive rescue vehicle that could respond to any emergency...anywhere. And America's Civil Defence department required a vehicle that could rescue citizens from every disaster, especially a fiery inferno. Now they're back. Six specialized fire fighters in all. Each recaptured in a replica that raises the benchmark for authenticity and precise detail.

Series VI (YYM37631 - YYM37636)
In the first half of the 20th century, truck manufacturers worked with fire departments all over the world to customize vehicles for specialized fire fighting challenges. In 1932, a Mercedes was equipped with five spotlights on its roof to illuminate remote areas at night. And, in the late '40s, a Dodge Power Wagon would navigate to a remote brush fire while its companion - a GMC tanker - would be ready to supply the Power Wagon more water. Now these ingenious fire fighting specialists are back - in a collection of six replicas as fascinating as the originals.
