Fictional fire apparatus (or Fire dept) - Indiana fire truck spotter - 02-25-2026

i’ve seen one thread dedicated to Wellington. I wanna have a whole thread dedicated to not only my fictional fire department, but for everybody else else’s, this includes fictional trucks with real paint, schemes or fictional trucks with fictional paint schemes for real places.

OK so as you guys know if you guys have been on the main thread, I have just got done with Smithington and I really enjoyed making the trucks so i am working history of the fictional town VFD Beachland the dept was started in 1985 after the closing of the township VFD after Beachland, converted into a municipality or a small city but in 1990 EF Three tornado struck the small California town destroying the fire trucks and also the building.

This engine was given to beachland becuse the old VFD collapsed so that’s how the first beach land fire apparatus
Said trucks was given in. 1985

RE: Fictional fire apparatus (or Fire dept) - Indiana fire truck spotter - 03-09-2026

Here is the next truck its a custom FMC/ rackington racks we got this by buying it use so here is grass 902
Said truck was bought in 1986 because rapid expansion of the city maid more people pay tax so the VFD bought 2 trucks in 1986

RE: Fictional fire apparatus (or Fire dept) - Indiana fire truck spotter - 03-09-2026

Here is rescue 903 it was all custom parts from the old FMC and an old box truck and I’nt frame
This truck was built in 1986 the box would soon be used in the current Dive team this would be the year that they made the white cab standard

In 1989 Beachland save enough money to got to a California State auction and there was two tankers starting bid hundred dollars for both of them Mike Rusky, the chief at the time bided $300 won both of them so then the department spent $500 more than what they paid for them to get them all lettered so this is how beachland  got two tankers. They’re both still in the fleet. Today one’s reserve and one is a publicity unit 

tanker 904 is a Ford C 8000 with Draper bed (tanker drawn by me)


Tanker 905 is a international Loadstar with a Draper bed (tanker drawn by me)

In 1990 a EF three tornado hit and Destroyed station one totaling the MACK CF and the GMC/FMC grass truck The station would not be rebuilt instead they would relabel station two in the station one and to replace those two trucks. They got four more trucks Beach Land bought four internationals and this is what started their love with the international brand.

With the tornado in 1990 it took a year before they saved up enough money after the station renovation so in 1991 they bought custom belt bed, but it was supposed to be on an international chassis but as of the delivery, the international chassis got wrecked so they had to put it onto a Peterbilt chassis but 1991 is the first year that they ever had the beach theme paint scheme with the red, dancing script letters and the new station badge with the new truck lettering. It went from 905 to 95…

In 1992 tanker 904 The old Ford sea series, cab blue and engine and blew the cab mounts and the cab fell off of a truck so they took the tanker off the Ford chassis and use a international chassis that they found for 8900 bucks so they remounted the tanker onto the international chassis and that’s what they use as a primary brush tanker
