Another interesting Henrico tanker was Tanker 4, a 1954 International with a 6000 gallon tank.

[quote name='Truckman' post='187992' date='Feb 10 2008, 14:14 ']Mike, I posted this ride under "International" and it was a Shop built tanker. It had a PTO pump, carried 1500 gallons of water, had a couple of Indian Tanks, several sections of 3" hard sleeve so engines could "nurse" from it. Also the booster line on top.
The ride you posted as Foam 8 begin its life in 1966 as Wagon 13. Later it found it way to station 21 as a foam unit and then over to the 8's.[/quote]
John,
I recall seeing the tanker posted before. Thank you for the additional information.

Chris Fox - these next two are for you - Gainesville - Haymarket, Virginia in Prince William County.
Engine 4-1 was this 1971 Chevrolet C60/American/Hagan ?? with a 500 gpm pump. The information on the slide says a 600 gallon water tank.
Photographed in 1981.

It appears that Prince William County owned this brush truck and assigned it to Gainesville - Haymarket Station 4.

Engine 11 in Roanoke ran this 1950 Corbitt/Oren with a 1000 gpm pump and 150 gallon water tank. Roanoke purchased four of these pumpers. Photographed in 1974.

Here is an unusual Ward LaFrance from Roanoke. I am not sure what engine number this is, but it may be Engine 7. From some history information I have regarding Roanoke, they purchased a 1949 Ward LaFrance with a 750 gpm pump. A note in that history says that this was an ex- ladder truck. The possible Ward LaFrance serial number is 502451.
This one sounds interesting. Any other information would be appreciated.
Photographed in 1973.

Mike,
I'm pretty sure that the Ocean Park, VA. rescue was sold to the Sugarloaf Fire Co. in Luzerne County, PA. and painted yellow. It was replaced a number of years go. It was definetely an odd ball rig from the pictures I've seen, but I have no other information on it.

Final one from Roanoke. From battle ship gray they went to red.
I believe that Roanoke ran several of these International/Oren's. I am unsure of the unit number on this one.
1970 International/Oren

Mike: After checking some older Grove aerial delivery lists I find that the Henrico unit was a single delivery with Grove model number 4S-100, serial number 2034-62, shipped from Grove to Oren in December, 1962. Hope that this helps out.

Does anyone know if this truck was eventually sold to Sugarloaf Township, PA? I can remember them purchasing a used rig very similar. It was repainted an orange/yellow color.
