The Malta Police Fire Brigade as it was in the early 1970s. The Brigade had only a Dennis Fire Engine, and 3 Ford Water Bowsers at its disposal. We have another historical photo of an early fire engine, in fact a water bowser which was used by the M.P.F.B. This vehicle was featured on the cover of the police magazine "Il-Pulizija" (September-October 1986). |
