In 1910, Mack received its first order for a fire engine. These first MACK fire engines utilized a standard truck chassis upon which a pump was fitted. From those early days through the ensuing decades and two world wars, Mack built a sterling reputation among truck manufacturers, while at the same time carving out its name in the annals of fire-fighting apparatus. Mack steadily advanced the technology of its day while maintaining its established tradition of solid reliability.

In 1954, MACK began producing its B-Series of fire-fighting vehicles. These models featured the very latest in power - a six-cylinder, thermodyne, gasoline-fueled engine. So successful was the B-series fire apparatus that, in 19954, the city of Chicago ordered 30 of the B-95 vehicles (a large amount for any size city). The B-series trucks were noted for their large plated radiator grilles, which made them easily identifiable. With a variety of pumping capabilities that ranged from 500 to 1,250 gallons per minute and numerous cab congigurations, the B-series models were well-suited to meet the needs of any town or city, regardless of size.

In 1956, the MACK B-95 Pumper played an important role in fighting the great Chelsea Conflagration in Massachusetts, one of the worst fires in modern U.S. history. The B-95 pumper used at the blaze was capable of pumping 1,000 gallons per minute. Now, the legendary 1956 MACK B-95 pumper is recreated in an authentic die-cast replica. Precision-engineered in 1:43 scale and meticulously detailed, this 1956 MACK B-95 Pumper is produced by - and available only from - Matchbox Collectibles.
