Las Vegas, NM ran this 1953 American LaFrance 700 Series 750 gpm pumper. Check out all the warning devices perched atop the windshield. Looks like a propane tank mounted just before the rear fender. What would that have been for? Dick Adelman pic/Mattson Collection <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/usa.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

I looked up some of the climate data for Santa Fe, NM and found that the average lows for Nov through April are below freezing with record lows down to -18 degrees. I wouldn't have thought that for the state of NM, but I guess that happens when your above 7,000 feet.
