This is not owned by the Nags Head fire department but it is kept at Station 21. I have no information on this truck except that it is an old Navy truck. I am posting it because if you have spent anytime in the OBX area, you have probably noticed that each department and town/city has old military trucks that they use in times of storms and flooding. If you have gone through this OBX thread, I have posted a variety of these trucks, and some of them have had a radio designation of "Storm".
I think we will slowly see these old Kaiser units go away and be replaced with something similar to what Nags Head has.

Mike,
absolutely great photos. The photo of the large tanker at the beach is awesome.
The Nags Head old military truck looks very much like an ex-German Army Mercedes-Benz 1017 4x4. I did not know, that the US Navy also had these trucks.
