Hi all! My dad is restoring an old rescue cart (golf cart) from Bristol (probably used in the 70's/early 80's). I'd love to find a picture of it in use.I'm new to the site and would welcome any guidance regarding the search.
Thanks!
Cherie

worlds smallest fire truck
Old golf cart now breaths as worlds smallest fire truck
They say where theres smoke, theres fire, and where theres fire, and there are firemen and fire trucks. But I guess just like most other government agencies, fire departments too are looking at ways to lower their carbon footprint. At least thats what the looks of the worlds smallest fire truck would seem to suggest. Caught on tape in Nobleton, Ontario, Canada, the legit fire truck was fashioned out of an old "people mover" golf cart and is even used by the local fire department in parades and to educate young kids about what the fire department actually does.
According to the firemen who use the truck to educate kids about their line of work, the tiny fire truck is a great educational tool and the kids absolutely love riding in it. Possibly a great way to keep real fire trucks ready for action without breaking little childrens hearts who want to ride in a fire truck, the golf cart fire truck is not really equipped to fight an actual fire though the converted truck can be used in a real emergency to ferry firemen through narrower streets and cramped inner city lanes. Perhaps fire departments in some of the worlds older cities should investigate the design for use in their nick of the woods.
