Antique Tracked Fire Truck for Arctic? or Wilderness?

All I have is this photo.

Anyone have any history or knowledge of this (or similar) fire rescue vehicles. Snow/Arctic region use? Rural region use? Just trying to find out about this, it is the first half-track fire truck I've seen.

Side of the truck clearly says Philadelphia Fire Deptartment. I can't imagine the tracks and rugged lugged front tires are needed for urban areas. So is there another Philadelphia somewhere in the US that is far more rural?

My first thoughts were it looked like WW2 era so googled WW2 fire trucks and that picture came up along with several others. My guess it was brought over from Europe and is merely a parade show truck. My guess would be from England and survived the blitzkreg (sp??)
