In the early 1950's, Ward LaFrance won a contract to supply the U.S. Air Force with new pumpers.  Between 1953 and 1956, 662 Model CW-750A's were delivered to Air Force bases around the world.  Commonly called the 750A, or "Crackerbox", these rigs carried a 750 GPM pump, 175 gallon tank and 40 gallon foam tank.  Tanks were sometimes increased to 300 gallons.  After service with the Air Force, many of these rigs served in Civilian departments.  Haletown, TN ran this one for several years.
