Fire Maintenance 1 was a 1958 International Tow Truck.It was originally red and repainted in the mid 70's when the new Seagraves came in painted Orange.

It was in use until about 1992 when the Repair Shop closed and operations were taken over by the City Garage.

This was actually Engine 45. In 1957 they received a new Ward LaFrance and the Quad then went to Truck 27 when they were formed.
