I think Independent originally ran this rig as a Utility and later as a Special Unit. It was basically a catch all. It was placed in service by the volunteers after the city consolidated all the downtown stations at the Taylor Ave station. When there were volunteers around to staff it, they would run this on medical calls, all structural calls if there were no volunteers to drive the engine, or any other call/detail that it was needed at to provide additional staffing. It had no pump or tank, but was equipped with a small generator and floodlights as well as some other minor equipment. There were some minor rescue tools, but no Hurst or other similar extrication tools, at least initially when it was placed in service. They may have been added later.
