Manufacturer description

The Army Fire Service, later called the Army Department Fire Service, was the fire service which performed firefighting duties on British Army camps. Its personnel were largely soldiers until 1959, when the fire service was civilianised. It was administratively part of the Royal Army Service Corps, but was semi-autonomous and had its own insignia, such as cap badge and stable belt. The Army Department Fire Service later amalgamated into the Ministry of Defence Fire Service.

Vehicles in red were not so common as the Auxiliary Fire Service green versions, but this is an authentic livery.

Catalogue listing

Oxford Diecast Army Fire Service Green Goddess – 1:76 scale model. The kit is supplied under manufacturer part number 76GG006 and is marketed as representing the British Rail Blue TOPS period.

The model depicts the Green Goddess fire appliance used by the Army Fire Service, later known as the Army Department Fire Service, which was responsible for firefighting duties on British Army camps. The service was staffed mainly by soldiers until it was civilianised in 1959, after which it became part of the Ministry of Defence Fire Service. While the green livery was standard for the Auxiliary Fire Service, the red version shown on the model is less common but historically accurate.

The die‑cast vehicle is produced in 1:76 (OO) scale, suitable for railway and military modelling. It includes detailed features such as the Army Department Fire Service cap badge and stable belt colours, and is painted in an authentic green fire service scheme. The model is intended for collectors and hobbyists seeking a period‑correct representation of the British Army fire apparatus.
