Does anybody have a photo of that pick-up truck that had a large monitor mounted to it (I think it was in the 80's), and was it ever used?

I don't have a picture of it but a little history. It was originally Brush 15, a Dodge PowerWagon assigned to the Chantilly Fire Station. The station captain there at that time (wise beyond his years and a future deputy fire chief) was concerned about the then increasing lightweight construction beginning to appear in the western part of the county, namely, the sprawling Shenadoah Crossing apartment complex east of FS15 on Route 50 and decided to outfit the old brush beast with portable deluge sets so it could be driven into the fire area laying its own three inch supply line. The unit was referred to as HARV for heavy appliance response vehicle. I'm not sure if it ever saw duty as its intended purpose. Maybe some of the others here have some archival photos of it.
Hope that helps.
