There are strange pieces on it but it looks very accurate.

It sure does.  If it's not the MegaBloks one, it was certainly inspired by it.

But:

At the <http://www.lowlug.nl LowLug forum> someone posted an article about
Megabloks. I was in search for it but didn't found it. But I just found the
<http://www.megabloks.com/eng/products/description.php?iID=178&subCat=1#
Megabloks website>. So it definately isn't LEGO .....

I wonder why LEGO doesn't bring out such models.

Because LEGO thinks that fire trucks should look like race cars:

Which is frustrating, considering that they do know how to realistically model
construction equipment:

Oh well... there's always next year.  :)
