It looks like LACoFD E71 has ONE booster Line. The "Brush Rigs" had 2 Boosters lines. This appears to be a 1972 rig. In DEVIL WIND FIRE WAGONS the 1971 order was "split" with some rigs from the COnsolidated Fire Protection Districts and Forester & Fire Warden (F&FW) units.
There is no mention of a sperate pump. all 46 rigs had HIGH PRESSURE reels and a 1000 GPM waterous single stage pump with 500 gal water tanks.
There were 8 more Wards bought in 1974 that had cross lays in front of the reels, but again no extra pumps.
