Description
The name Dennis is synonymous with fire appliances and yet the two brothers Raymond and John started out in 1895 in a Devonshire village on a path which would lead them to producing cars, lawn mowers, buses and lorries as well as fire appliances. They started producing the F series of fire engines in 1946, with the F12 being the most popular. In those days, its construction comprised a wooden frame with an aluminium skin. It appeared in both rear and side pump versions and was used widely throughout the UK
