The EMD Locomotive Facilty at McCook, IL had this little in-plant fire suppression unit. Can anyone provide information? Mattson Collection <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/usa.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

Looks like they had 2 of them, they are numbered 1 and 2 if you look closely.

He has the exact same type of unit, (if not this one), in his vast collection of apparatus. It is not in the condition pictured.

I know that Young Fire Equipment built some in-plant fire engines of this type called the "Youngster", but they looked slightly different from the unit pictured. Local Syracuse apparatus manufacturer Sanford also built a few on Kalamazoo industrial truck chassis . . . Maybe this is one of those?

That little industrial rig was built by John Bean and has the typical 70 GPM high pressure pump. I have photographed one similar down in Florida.
Thanks for all the chatter regarding the EMD brigade rig. This would be an interesting topic to explore in greater detail. I attended the 2012 SPAAMFAA Winter Meeting in Gettysburg, PA this past February and Tom Herman had a in-plant brigade unit on display that was built by OREN. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/fireman.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

Thanks for posting, this truck later served my hometown VFD of Burnsville,NC. I can vaguely remember visiting the fire station in the early 90s (I know, that wasn't very long ago for many of you) as a kid when this truck was a front line piece. It is now privately owned by a collector in Granite Falls,NC.
