Fire Engines Photos

Joe U.; great shot of a local Volunteer Fire Department's ingenuity, with a low budget and locally available resources....

Today, NFPA (USA) and Health & Safety (UK) would "have a bird"; but, it worked back then.....

Let's see - a war-surplus US Army 4 x 4 chassis, the Locker Compartments from a junked Utility Truck, some steel piping on the cheap for the Hoseman's "Pulpit" up front; friendly local welding shop, or, welder-fireman;
and "Hey Presto" a Brush-Fire Truck that can 'Pump & Roll' (Produce On The Move).

Perfect for chasing down Grass Fires out on The Great Western Plains of USA (State of Indiana).

Truly, A Great Rig !
