Hello Jelle,
Jim Davis (Maui, Hawaii and Member/ Historian of WW II's 1204th Army Engineer Fire Fighting Platoon) here. Your message asks for info on WW II US Army Engineer units and their equipment. Let me introduce you to the near unknown WW II Army Engineer Fire Fighting Platoons by askng you to open these websites:
"Fire Fighters in Fatigues" at http://www.maui.net/~r11 and
"World War II Army Engineer Fire truck Identification" at http://www.maui.net/~r11/firetruck-id.
If any of the info in these sites raises questions, please be in touch. If you find trucks in the ID site you might like to model please let me as I can supply much info on them, including dimensons and equipment.
Aloha,
Jim Davis
