1930 Škoda 154 automobile fire engine

            As soon as it had passed though its embryonic stage, the automobile began to be used for fire--fighting needs, capable of transporting firemen and their equipment to a fire more quickly than teams of horses. Fire-fighting automobiles had gradually begun to replace horse-drawn fire engines as early as the first decade of the 2oth century. In 193o, there were already 317 of them in Czechoslovakia, most of these produced in this country. Automobile plants, however, as a rule supplied only the chassis of the vehicle, which was then equipped by a specialized firm with fire-fighting facilities and usually also a pump driven by the vehicle's engine. The fire engine on display, which was purchased in 1930 by the Fire Brigade in Náchod — Staré Město nad Metují, was built on the chassis of a Škoda 154 lorry by the V. Ig. Stratílek plant in Vysoké Mýto.

It was donated to the National Technical Museum collection in 1975 by the Tepna Náchod cotton mill.

Utility vehicle with a water-cooled four-stroke four-cylinder SV engine placed length-wise behind the front axle and with rear-wheel drive.
