Micro Urban Rescue Hot Wheels
This vintage item is a collectible 1997 Hot Wheels Planet Micro™ Urban Rescue Series 1 set that includes 2 Search and Rescue Fireman, 2 fire trucks (with pivot and extend ladder), and 1 helicopter (with spin rotor).
In addition, it comes with a Microscape™ collector base. This set was created in 1997 to commemorate the following Urban Search and Rescue vehicles:
- American La France Pumper:
- 1894: ALF introduces the first pumper
- 1937: ALF Super Pumper delivers 3000 gallons of water per minute (gpm)
- 1973: ALF Century Series of custom pumpers outputs 1000 to 2000 gpm
- Westland Lynx Helicopter (with Spin rotor)
- 1986: World Helicopter Speed Record of 249.10 mph at an altitude of 500 feet
- American La France Aerial Ladder Truck
- 1882: ALF makes the first wooden aerial ladder truck
- 1935: The first all-steel aerial ladder
- 1938: The first 100-foot aerial ladder
Like the packaging says, it's a micro size with mega detail. The Micro Urban Rescue Hot Wheels has never been opened and is, therefore, in mint condition. It makes a great gift for collectors and firefighter enthusiasts.
