It wasn't the war effort that motivated the US Army to build their own fire apparatus, it was cost savings and stadardization. Here's a link to a site that has more info on the Fort Holabird, MD built USA fire apparatus:

[quote name='FDNYTRUCKS.com' post='209001' date='Apr 26 2008, 18:53 ']this isn't the rig that was for sale outside the farm hall. the rig that is for sale is their 1986 CF/Ward 79. the pic above is of their 1976 CF that was refurbed in 1986 by Ward 79. the rig pictured was sold several years ago to a private owner when they got their American La France Eagle pumper.[/quote]
My info says that this was a 1986 Swab refurb, and it was sold to Coaldale.
The second Western Salisbury 1985 Mack CF I have down as the Body being built by Ward 79.
My info comes from when I photographed them, the same time Lou Kelter did. That was back in early 90's?

Ft. Holabird was on the East side of Baltimore, near Dundalk. It was shut down in the mid 1970's except for a few small buildings that were used by the Army's C.I.D. up until about 5 or six years ago when that group relocated to Ft. Meade. Most of what was once Ft. Holabird is now an industrial park, however if you drive through the area you can see some of the old apartment buildings that once were a part of enlisted housing are still standing and have been sold off and now are run as a private apartment complex. Also there was a VFW that occupied one of the old service clubs and pool on what used to be the base, but I'm not sure if that is still open or not.

The old officers service club is indeed still in use as a Vietnam Veterns Association. Here is a link to a local attorney's blog site that has some info on Fort Holabird, MD:
