The next rig will be featured in an upcoming issue and has an interesting history. In 1966, the Westinghouse Company purchased a IHC Scout/Hahn 2WD Mini-pumper for in plant fire protection to maneuver the narrow aisles between machines.Supposedly, there were two other 1968 Scout/Hahn 4x4 mini-pumpers (one that is still serving at the now Siemens Plant in Charlotte,NC). In 1971, the Rural Hall Plant needed a fire truck as well as a brush unit for the property. Hahn was unable to build the mini-pumper due to ground clearance specs since it would also be a brush unit so Bruco was chosen instead. This is also the last Scout 800B because International changed the body style in 1972 or so I was told. The owner lives in the same town as me and will allow me posed shots later so stay tuned.
