Outer Banks, North Carolina - Department profiles

[mnsand]

Here is one that has held a variety of unit designations at Kitty Hawk. The front says "Engine 1", and the window has the designation of Truck 13. This is another example of the interesting Grumman aerials found at some of the Outer Banks FD's.



This is a 1984 Ford C/Grumman with a 50' telesqurt. It has a 1250gpm pump and carries 500 gallons of water and Grumman serial number 47170.



Note the large K1200 saw box carried on the front bumper.



When Kitty Hawk received their new Ladder recently, I assumed this Grumman would be gone. I was told that the FD plans on keeping the Ford as a reserve ladder and pumper.
