2010 Hess Miniature Fire Truck

The 2010 Hess Miniature Fire Truck was the thirteenth model released in the Hess Miniature Series. This mini brought back a complex fire engine design, replicating the largest fire truck model in the collection up to that point.

Miniature TDA Ladder with Full Chrome Detail

This miniature model is a highly detailed, scaled-down replica of the full-size 2000 Hess Fire Truck, the collection’s first tractor-drawn aerial ladder (TDA) vehicle. Despite its small scale, it managed to retain significant mechanical and electronic features.
