After an all morning meeting the following day, I had the remainder of the day to travel to my next meeting site. Fortunately, I had some nice weather and a road that passed a number of different fire stations.
I have said it here before, I love finding those stations that have purchased second hand apparatus from other departments. The King William VFD in Aylett, Virginia is one of those stations which have some unusual apparatus.
Tanker 1 at King William is this 1979 Autocar Construcktor 2/1980 Grumman-Howe with a 400gpm pump and a 2000 gallon water tank. I found Howe serial number 15933 on the truck. You need a step ladder to get into the cab of this truck......notice the "XXL" near the front of the truck.
This tanker once ran from the Triple Community Fire Department, which I believe is in the Morgantown, North Carolina area. King William purchased the tanker in the 2005-2006 time frame.
