 Probably an Oshkosh, FWD, or another type of heavy american-made runway firetruck

 this truck seems to have a very distinctive 3 pieces windshield and I haven't seen any Oshkosh with that

 Is that a ladder hanging off the side? Maybe it could have been hung in a different direction.

 I think I found the answer. Never heard of it? I didn't either until I found this.
Alvis - something. Looks too big to be the Salamander.

 unfortunatly not, the Alvis has 3 axles and the bars on the window is wider

also highly unlikely that San Francisco Airport would use something non-american :o


this one was a pain in the a** cos couldn't find anything from US producers like Walter,Oshkoch , Ward Lafrance, American LaFrance etc

I'm extremely disappointed to read that you have never heard of Alvis.
They were one of Britain's most respected makers of sporting cars and of military vehicles, and are now paying my pension, as I worked for them.

 It's the only ARFF apparatus I found with the 3-piece windscreen.. every other one - ALF, E-one, Rosenbauer, Oshkosh, FWD and so on all had either one or 2-piece. SFFD's ARFF fleet were/are all Oshkosh's, and this is definitely not one. Hmmm.. might remain unsolvable..

 Is there any Fire Engine forum/site we can reach out to to see if they know what this is?

Also, why is there not a HD version of this image?

Did Alvis have a market in the US? I'm more familiar with Oshkosh's and Rosenbauer's ARFF apparatus.

 No, the U.S. tends not to buy European military vehicles, and the largest postwar car was 3.0 litres. The Combat Vehicle Reconnaissance Tracked was sold to some South American armies, generally under the name Scorpion. The Company disappeared when taken over by BAE Systems, who build ships, aeroplanes and submarines but have involvement only in the post design services for vehicles these days.

 Interesting, Thanks for the info. Most of what I know best are commercial trucks/lorries, fire apparatus/appliances and some buses. Typically, I'm not familiar with most vehicles older than the 1970's.

 Could Be An Airport Chief, But It Also Reminds Me Of The 60s Yankee/Walter ARFF Trucks
