It is equipped with a 1500 gpm-pump and carries 500 gallons of water, 210 gallons of foam, and a 75' Tele-Squrt (Squrt !). Virginia McLaughlin photo / Kiefer collection

The bodywork was originally supposed to be from Ranger. Apparently, the chassis was at the Ranger plant when the IRS came in to shut down operations and chain up the gates. Orchard Beach got a call (a heads up) that things were about to get bad and a suggestion was made that if they wanted their chassis, they had better come up and get it quick. E\-One ended up with the job of finishing up the rest of the unit.
Although this started life as "Tele-Squirt 11", it ended it's life in Anne Arundel County as "Water Tower 11". Orchard Beach had plans to make this into a truck but found out that the ladders manufactured on that type of boom were for emergencies only. The designation of Water Tower occurred after Orchard Beach was not able to call it a "Truck".
