Ex USFS Model 61 IH 4x4 builder unknown (guessing B&Z or Phoenix as they were the primary builders for the USFS in the 1980s)
250 gpm pump, 500 gallon tank
Now operated by the Lower Trinity Volunteer Fire Department in Northern, CA
The key identification feature between most USFS type 3 engines in California are the hose reels. The Model 61 has two hose reels mounted low, the 1st generation Model 62 (regular cab with part of the crew in the body like the Model 61) located the hose reels higher providing a taller rear compartment. The 2nd/ 3rd generation have a crew cab with 2 hose reels, the 4th and 5th generation removed one hose reel and mounted in the back inside a roll up door.
