Now for Squad 2, the lighting plant. A former city truck that was pressed into service after the old international (old rescue) bit the dino.
The long time Aux Fire chief liked white trucks. The new chief must like white trusts less. They used to have a pumper and a hose wagon but apparently no more

and what this does is beyond me. Thanks milton for its pedegree. Any pics of it in pro paint?

Unknoiwn re Somervile Aux fire
In my day they had an international lighting plant and an old Army jeep that for a time became the mechanics truck
Then they had an old yellow Seagrave that came from an airport. Then an old MAxim engine and an old Hose wagon

BTW, there are slide scanners and they are cheap
