My bad. When I typed "Squirrel-tale" in a couple posts last evening it seemed wrong but I couldn't figure out why (maybe it was one of my senior moments). It finally came to me late last night that it should read "Squirrel-tail" hookups.
The Memphis Fire Department also used the squirrel-tail hookup exclusively until 1965 when they started purchasing cab-forward type fire apparatus.
