Reedy Creek Fire Dept. (Walt Disney World Fire Dept.)

Until Disney moved in this was a little volunteer fire department in the middle of now where, now they are the sole protection of all the disney's assets, nice but plain equipment, I have seen the equipment in person and wasn't that impressed.

Not really 100% accurate. Reedy Creek Fire Department was organized in 1968 to be the fire protection for the earliest parts of the Magic Kingdom as it was being developed and built. They were always set up to be the fire protection service for Walt Disney World which is governed by the Reedy Creek Improvement District (owned and run by Disney).

They currently have 4 stations. They are located near the Animal Kingdom (just behind the McDonolds), behind the Magic Kingdom, near Saratoga Springs and Downtown Disney, and the Headquarters which is behind EPCOT. 

I personally think they have VERY sharp looking rigs. I would buy anything of their's that gets made in a heartbeat. 

They might sell well for the novelty of being the Walt Disney World fire equipment, and if you guys think about it, several of the 'popular' big city departments, like Chicago & Los Angeles, for example, have pretty plain paint jobs, too. (Chicago is red & black, big white apparatus number, small department logo; LA is all red, with a white stripe/multi-stripe,  not much different from these trucks, just depends on your interests.)

As for me, would depend on price and how accurate the models were, not just re-painted old tooling.

Not to mention, this Reedy Creek Fire Department sure sounds like a Mickey Mouse operation. (Sorry guys, I really tried to not say it, but I couldn't resist!)

My Guess is that Disney has the trucks actually copyrighted... would be hard to make a model...

And why is this any different than the rest of the rigs C3 makes. They obtain a license from every agency they do.

They're kinda blank. I guess what i'm saying is no, I think I'll pass, there isn't really anything that pops out aside from the neon yellow.

"NO. THERE IS NOTHING SPECIAL ABOUT THESE TRUCKS. MAYBE IF THE HAD MICKEY AND MINNIE AND THE OTHER CHARACTERS."

Actually, one thing that I noticed that would be very difficult if not impossible to replicate in 1/64 in the tower/ladder's bucket and ladder have a 'classic'/"old-school" turned-polished aluminum finish, like the 'Spirit of St. Louis' airplane, click on the picture to see the detail.

I would add these rig to my collection.

I would buy these rigs. I don't like the rescue in particular because that is the most plain one of them all. The engine and ladder would be neat to have together. And Disney World doesn't have the copyright to this department. They serve and protect not only the disney properties but also all local interstates and residential housing in the area. They also protect the non-disney resorts in the area.

I would just for nostalgia purposes.

I have seen all of these rigs in person and they would make great models so would their fire houses. they also have a monorail rescue truck which is cool these pix are of fire station 3 and fire station 4. F.S. 3 is the white one(the one with the monorail rescue) and F.S.4 is the red one. pix from reedy creek firefighters assn.

any pictures of the monorail rescue unit?

I gotta admit, when I first saw the words "monorail rescue unit", I envisioned an actual rescue unit that rides on the monorail! Then reality hit, and I realized that sounded kind of Goofy!

Here Is the Monorail rescue unit. One of the firefighters at that station gave me a demonstration.
