This review is from: New York City Fire Trucks (Paperback)
This is a good book of historical pictures of apparatus used by FDNY. Just be aware this book is almost all black and white pics. There is a couple of pages in the middle of the book with some color pics but otherwise all b&w. I figured the "modern" pics would have been in color but they weren't. That being said, this is still at good book with great pics of rigs of all kinds. Good addition to your FDNY collection.
