@Richard Bolger you clearly don't notice the road right next to it.

A miniature engine like that would actually be great for some of the larger factories and plants around.

[@seanconlin8712]

Thank you Eric and Conner for doing your Engine 1/2. When you first showed this unit in a parade I started asking for it to be done as a Fleet Friday Review. The next one I would like to see is Eric's Red Leader another beautiful rig with some history behind it.

[@corycollier]

Hands down this is My favorite episode of Fleet Friday

[@jer789610]

Great job on the new intro, I think it's my favorite you've made so far! The story behind the creation of Engine 1/2 was really touching, and it's nice to see that it's still going strong and well taken care of.

Even though it's not meant for actual fire-fighting use. That's a pretty cool engine never the less.

[@ph11p3540]

This is as cute as an Isuzu Kei fire truck pumper chassis micro fire truck chassis. The cute little Micro Fire engines were put into service by the Shibukawa City fire department in Japan because some alley ways were too narrow and long for normal Japanese fire trucks. They only pump 900 liters but being a first wave fire truck they buy time until more hose carts are pushed in and hose lines laid in.

[@ashtonwynkoop8212]

Just amazing, it's really awesome it would be fun to drive!

That's really cool, I am sure it would make for a good career day demo too. We all laugh a bit at small a golf cart fire truck, but a while back I learned about a fire department that only uses golf carts and ATVs because the community they serve is accessed entirely by boardwalks.

When your little brother desperately wants to go with you to work. lol

Red One next to Engine 1/2 is really laughable, what an awesome comparison. It's a perfect PR tool and functional too. Children should get a big kick out of touring this one. A great Fleet Friday Apparatus.
