Brickerville Fire Company in Northern Lancaster County, PA still has this 1947 International KB5. It was purchased as a US Army surplus vehicle and painted the company's color of red. It features a 500 GPM pump and 300 gallon water tank.
In 1951 or 1952, Larry Eckert, the Company's Chief Engineer, parked the pumper too close to a barn that was burning and caused the discoloration to the front. They never fixed the damage.
This antique still gets taken out once a week and driven around Brickerville to keep everything in working order.
