As part of the Heritage Days which took place in France on September 19th and 20th and in conjuction with 100 years in looking at Paris Police Headquarter's heritage, an interesting range of vehicles once in use were displayed on Place Louis Lépine. The tour began with
a Delahaye 92 PS (1926)
Set under the control of the Police Headquarter and back to 1913, the Fire Dept introduced its first self powered fire engines. Thirteen years later, Delahaye comes up with type 92 which combined the latest achievements such as a transmission shaft, pneumatics and a battery powered two pitch horn, just to name a few. PS stood as Premier Secours, ie First-Aid.
Powered by a 30hp engine, the type 92PS was served by a crew of 5 in charge of a high pressure centrifugal pump able to deliver 60 cubic meter of water per hour from a 300 liter tank.
The rotating hose reel was set with 80 meter of semi-rigid hose. The one at back came up with 263 meter of flexible. The inner side was for tucking the collapsible hooked ladder.
Delahaye delivered 27 units which served until 1933.
a fellow Delahaye sat a few yards further
it was a type 103-A, also termed as a Fourgon Mixte, or polyvalent van and comissioned in 1937. As such, the FM could undertake the basic duties of both a standard fire engine and a first-aid van.
In order to complete both duties, the 12 crewmembers could rely on a ton of water filling a reserve tank and an hydraulic powered equipment
Three doors. Opening the third one at rear was the way in to a first rorating hose reel set lengthway above the cistern and coming up with four 20-meter long hoses each capped by a 7 milimeter liquid thrower.
Each back reel came up with 200 meter of 70 mm rubber hose.
A 110 mm vaccum hose kept company to ladders on the roof top.
Initially used as a civil defense component during the outbreack of WWII , the Delahaye FMs were then dispatched to suburban areas still then short of accessible water taps/faucets.
Four 70 mm pressure valves and a 110 mm vaccum line complemented the equipment.
The FM faithfully served into the late 40s.
