I think grob may have it, but, just in case he doesn't: Is this a European marque?

Thatīs not too easy, as many trucks used very simple technical solutions like that even after WW1.

But I think this one is either a modern 1906 fire engine or a less modern one from 1914 or something in between...

To be honest this was just a guess as I had only one other photo of a comparable fire engine, which was that of a 1906 Busch electrical fire engine prototype:

Well, it is one of two surviving Busch Dampfspritze fire engines. This one is from 1914 and is part of the Technische Sammlungen in Dresden.

One more point for you.
