Classic Mercedes-Benz short-bonnet truck with fire service body by Albert Ziegler and regional service history in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.

A special feature of this historic emergency vehicle is its more recent history: Until recently, the Mercedes-Benz was still in service with the volunteer fire brigade of the municipality of Sommersdorf in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.

The legendary Mercedes-Benz short-bonnet truck has shaped the streetscape of Germany since the late 1950s. Its distinctive front, robust construction and versatile applications made it a familiar sight at fire brigades, construction companies and municipal operations for decades.

The designation LF 16 refers to a fire-fighting group vehicle equipped with an FP 16/8 centrifugal fire pump. This pump class is designed for a rated delivery capacity of 1,600 litres of water per minute at a delivery pressure of 8 bar.
The standard crew of an LF 16 consists of a fire-fighting group with nine emergency personnel, usually one group leader and eight additional firefighters.
The Mercedes-Benz LA 1113 belongs to the well-known short-bonnet truck series, which shaped the image of German commercial vehicles and fire service operations for decades.
