The Ward LaFrance next to the ALF was purchased from Anne Arundel County and cannailbalized for parts to keep the many City Wards running. The White oil tanker in the background was purchased from Crown Petroleum. It became Tank Wagon 1, used to fill apparatus on the fireground with gas and diesel. It was painted Omaha Orange, the then new City colors.
