Fire Engine Hire

for Film & TV, Weddings & Funerals

Classic Fire Engines is based in the English Midlands and has genuine vintage fire engines as well as contemporary ones available for hire.  We specialise in Film & TV, and in providing transport for weddings and funerals. We have an exquisite range of fully restored Classic Fire Engines for hire for your special event.

Dignified Fire Engine Hire Service

Our mission is to provide a dignified and respectful fire engine hire service for our customers.

Our vehicles are NOT 'fire engine limousines' and we cannot cater for Hen Nights, Stag Parties etc.

Modern Fire Engines available

We also hire out contemporary fire engines should that be your wish. The crew will be dressed in appropriate uniforms for the vehicle. All of our fire engines' equipment is correct for the vehicle and in full working order.

Our collection of Classic Fire Engines have been lovingly restored by a team of enthusiastic specialists. The director himself has 18 years experience in the fire service.

Our engines have been preserved in their original working condition with the correct fittings and equipment. Your crew will be professional fire-fighters wearing period or modern uniforms.

Wedding Transport

Instead of hiring a vintage wedding car for your special day, why not hire a 'wedding fire engine'. Our unusual form of wedding transport will make it a memorable day for you and your guests. So you can still have bells even if the wedding is not in church!

Just imagine the pleasure you would give guests by arriving at your big event in your special vehicle.

Funeral Transport (alternative to the Hearse)

Working closely with your own funeral director, we can respectfully provide a fire engine as an alternative to the hearse for your loved one's final journey. We have a platform with rollers to fit on a fire engine or turntable ladder. This is often a popular service for members of the fire service.

Period Drama - TV and Film

Our vehicles are ideal to hire for use in film and TV productions where an authentic vintage fire appliance is called for, be it a period drama or documentary reconstruction.

Competitive rates for all events.

Our vehicles are the ideal choice to hire for:

• TV and Filming

• Weddings

• Funerals
