If you’ve ever browsed Facebook Marketplace, you’ll know you can pretty much get your hands on anything.
From furniture to power tools, cars to massive 8×8 articulating off-road fire trucks, you name it, it’s on there.
We’re not even joking about there being fire trucks on marketplace either.

Someone’s actually listed a 1990 Rosenbauer DA-1500 fire truck for sale on the platform.
We’re not entirely sure who’d be in the market to buy a fire truck, especially on marketplace, but it’s an interesting find nonetheless.
The Rosenbauer DA-1500 is actually based on the Oshkosh Mk.48 LVS, a transport vehicle that was used in the 1980s by the United States Marine Corps.
It was an incredibly useful bit of kit, thanks to its eight-wheel-drive capability, impressive turn radius, and versatility.
And when it came to fire-fighting duty, the Mk.48 was able to go where normal fire trucks couldn’t.
So, Austrian fire truck builder Rosenbauer took a handful of Mk.48 chassis and turned them into DA-1500 off-road fire trucks.
And the rest, as they say, is history.
The behemoth DA-1500 has eight massive wheels, two selectable drive modes (4×8 or 8×8) and a two-speed transfer case.
And with a 46-degree front approach angle, a 50-degree rear departure angle, and a 60-inch wading depth, very little can stand in its way.
Incredibly, despite being 36-feet long, it’s much more maneuverable than you’d expect, thanks to its articulating body and center yaw steering.
A vehicle weighing nearly 25,000 pounds has to have some serious power under its hood.
That’s why the DA-1500 is fitted with a Detroit Diesel V8 paired to a four-speed Alison automatic.
That giant lump makes 540 horsepower but it won’t win any drag races, as it apparently takes 40 seconds to reach 97 km/h (60 mph).
When it comes to putting out fires in the wilderness, the DA-1500 is capable of holding 1,500 gallons of water on-board.
That huge water holding capacity comes at a cost, though, as the DA-1500 only has enough room to carry two crew members.
According to the marketplace listing, the fire truck has has two owners in its entire life, and has a fully documented history including all prior maintenance, parts/operators manuals, and ownership title.
The asking price? $120,000, which actually seems pretty cheap, considering the DA-1500 originally cost $1.2 million.
