Too many times it takes a tragedy before those willing to make the ultimate sacrifice at a moment's notice are recognized. And while foreign to some, the thought of placing duty before self is taken at face value and fiercely embodied at firehouses across the country. As a result, the communities these men and women serve are better for their commitments. Corgi commemorates every city's bravest with this series of Heroes Under Fire, replicating the rigs used by the departments and their firefighters, keeping us safe and making us all proud.

Authenticity and detail are paramount to the fine die-cast tradition Corgi has built over the last four decades. Researched and developed through consultation with renowned fire apparatus experts, the 1:50th scale replicas of vintage and contemporary fire rescue rigs incorporate the contours and styling from fire rescue manufacturers such as Mack, Emergency One, American LaFrance and Seagrave. Complementing each Heroes Under Fire collectible is a true story of heroism-a telling testimonial to the danger firefighters meet daily in the line of duty. From the detailed diamond plated running boards and hard suction pumps to the stories behind the firefighters and their rigs, Heroes Under Fire by Corgi offers the collector the most complete and detailed fire rescue collectible available.
