But a concept tried as early as 1939, when the Cockeysville, MD. VFD purchased a custom Diamond T 3-door tractor with a Heil 1200 gal. trailer.

Utilizing the facilities of the Baltimore Co. Repair shop, Capt. Ed Mays and several other CVFD members customized the combo rig to include:

Tractor; 750 gpm pump, 700 ft. 2.5" , 4 suctions, hand tools.

Trailer; 500 gpm pump (rear mount), 600 ft. 1.5",2 floodlights, deck gun, 35 and 50 ft. ladders, tools.

Usage was same as the Ca. rigs that GA Dave mentioned.

Rig stayed in service until 1962.
