Las Vegas, NM ran this 1953 American LaFrance 700 Series 750 gpm pumper. Check out all the warning devices perched atop the windshield. Looks like a propane tank mounted just before the rear fender. What would that have been for? Dick Adelman pic/Mattson Collection <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/usa.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Usa' />

The propane tank is actually a device to thaw hydrants.

Okay, I will put my ignorance on the line here: Is a hydrant thawing device really that much of an essential piece of equipment in Sin City? Or, is there another Las Vegas a little further north?
