If this unit had a 750 GPM pump, it is a 530 "C" - 530 "B" units had 500 GPM pumps and were not configured to "pump and roll".  This unit was likely built on an AM General chassis by American Air Filter.  I worked at an Army base years ago that received two 530C's in the 1974-75 time frame with Army registration numbers close to this one. 

 

Fort Ritchie was closed awhile back as part of a BRAC realignment - the shame of it was that the FD had just moved into a newly constructed fire station about a year or so before the post was shut down.

The new Fort Ritchie station was built in 1995, base closed in 1997, very little besides demo of derelict buildings has happened since.

Photo taken several years ago when it was used as a maintenance depot.

Ironically the Site R FD just  several miles away has had its fleet/facilities enhanced, both for on and off base responses.

Dave on the tanker let me get in touch with my cousin who runs with them and I will get you the details, but by the looks its a 1956 Mack B and the engine I have as a 1963.

 

Both can be seen on there web site http://www.potomacvalleyfire.com/appartu...age_id/426

The 1963 is from Upper Montgomery VFD of Beallsville,MD.

The 56 is x-Rockville,MD.

Both were owned by a collector in New Windsor,MD.,not sure of current status.
