Hey, does anyone know where I can find some modern American firefighters in bunker gear in HO gauge or 1/87 scale? No, I don't want the Model Power set from way back when. Thanks! Mark
Mark....Merten of Germany makes HO scale US firefighter figures. Here is a link to one set available on the internet:

I think I may have some extras in my collection, e-mail if ur interested.....Paul T.
Hey Paul, Thanks for the reply. I was hoping for more modern firefighters but I guess these are better than nothing. Sure, I'll take the extras you have off your hands if you like. E-mail me at unmarkedcarr@aol.com and let me know the specifics. Thanks! Mark
Dick, I got the firefighter figures you sent today. Thank you. I'm still looking, though, for 1/87 scale modern American firefighters. Haven't found any yet.
If you are looking for a Modern US FF in turnouts with SCBA then you are definitely SOL. However if you want to get close here are some others.

You may have to but some different sets. Then cut and piece and/or repaint.
