The Citroën Type H in fire service

The Citroën Type H debuted in 1947 at the Paris Motor Show and quickly became one of the most recognizable commercial vehicles of the 20th century. Its distinctive corrugated sheet metal body, inspired by the legendary Junkers Ju 52 aircraft, was the model's hallmark. Thanks to its low floor and front-wheel drive, the Type H performed excellently in narrow city streets. These features made the vehicle a popular choice for volunteer and municipal fire departments in France, Belgium and Switzerland.
Van versions were often lengthened or heightened and specialized bodies were built on the "bare" chassis. The fire department Type H served as a light rescue and firefighting vehicle, ideal for rapid response in city centers, marketplaces and historical districts where larger vehicles had limited access.
