“ I need that fire engines autograph ” -Young Kilo
“ I love this set. It came out when I was 8 years old, what 8 year old doesn't love fire trucks? I don't happen to have this card. Whoever posted the checklist though got it wrong, the set is actually 500 cards. It is the largest automotive themed set ever made, including auto racing, where the largest set is only 340 cards. (not counting insets/parallels/promos) ” -Billy Kingsley
“ This is going to be a little long - sorry. I know there will be a few "The early 90s, a card for Everything" comments, but I can assure you that there were fire (truck/man) sets a lot earlier than that. In the early 80s, I worked for a baseball card shop and the owner was a big time photographer. He had a hand in putting together a fire truck set (I think it had firemen as well) that I remember helping him sort into sets. That was probably around 1982 or 1983. ” -vrooomed
“ I have all the respect in the world for firemen, but damn I wish I had a job where I get paid when I'm sleeping (albeit always mindful that when the alarm sounds, it's time to earn that pay)! ” -bkklaos
“ COOL !! ” -uncaian
“ Everyone likes fire trucks! ” -carthage44
“ Ya know, when I click the drop-down menu and select "Write One", it's like getting a Christmas gift from a distant relative. Sure, it's shaped like a card, but it could really be anything. Sometimes, it's 1960s Topps baseball. And sometimes, it's this. ” -wax_house
“ Fire Trucks. When I first heard about one of these sets at first I thought it kind of odd. Then I remembered earlier sets of cars from the 1950s through the 70s and it wasn't so odd. ” -captkirk42
“ too cool ” -jackal726
“ Opening Day pitcher for the 1993 Fire Engines. ” -jlaz10
“ A copycat from the police, these were the thing for fire departments to have. Some departments actually used these for contest and kids could win a price. For volunteer deparments, the idea was to make the kids come to the station to get the last card in the set, where usually a well meaning member would try to sell mom/dad on joining. ” -engine614
