OTHER INFORMATION
|
This truck was purchased by the Fire Department Association. It was a
former NU truck. The Association had the truck painted red, striped
and lettered, and purchased the 250 gallon Poly tank. Members
installed radios, siren, emergency lights and then built a steel skid
frame for mounting of the pump and tank. The skid unit can be
removed in the off (brush fire) season and the truck is then used as a
utility vehicle to carry the Rescue Alive cold water/ice rescue sled and
related equipment. In 2001 the step-side pick-up body was removed
and a new aluminum flat bed and diamond plate tool boxes were
purchased by the Association. In 2003 the Association purchased a
new Darley Fire Pump. In 2005 a hitch was added for towing the
HAZ-MAT trailer. A body overhaul was done in 2008 that included new
fenders, hood, grille, rocker panels, and a complete paint job.
