Description An unstoppable wildfire is burning its way across Australia, International rescues key firefighting vehicle, The Firefly is on the scene...


Continuing International Rescue's ancillary fleet comes my favourite, The Firefly. Appearing twice in the series itself the Firefly is a heat resistant bulldozer, with a high explosive cannons to snuff out fires and a rear mounted water cannon.


This vehicle pretty much sums up why I love Derek Medding's design work, what could have been a run of the mill Bulldozer came out pretty much the "Hot Rod" of heavy machinery.


Another note is i've tried 3 times to do the Firefly and never succeeded. Now with my new Blender Skillz  I have made what is at least a fairly close approximation. Go me.

Nice! Nowadays though, I wonder if the Firefly would be coated with something akin to the space shuttle's thermal tiles?
