Here is Shaun Ryans photo of the Hartwood truck.
Kudos to whom ever finds where these trucks are now!
does any one know what those fittings are on the stainless steel plate above the 1st compartment
Looks like a soda/Beer tap.

Those small small fittings are taps to allow direct filling of Indian Tanks from the Booster Tank during brush fires.....usually found above the tailboard, these were spec'd by rural fire companies as an option upon occasion. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/3_12_21.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/stirpot.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

Southern Inyo California Fire Tecopa station runs this 1982 Hahn/Superior 1250/500 Pumper. ex- Las Vegas NV, ex- Pahrump Valley NV, and ex Nye County NV Emergency Services
Very cool...nose into a hydrant and hit all the ports, all off the front. Lots of piping and elbows, I bet.
Any shots of that bookmobile-style rescue behind the engine?
Excellent photos. Thanks,
Gary

Wagon 66 from Arlington Hall Station FD was a 1980 Hahn/Firetec, 1000/500/30. This rig was transferred to Fort Belvoir FD when the AHS base closed in 1990. In it's day it ran as a two piece engine company, anyone know what the second piece was.

was this truck attached to the Walter Reed Hospital?
[/quote]No, I don't think so, Frank. They were across the river from each other. It looks like this wagon stayed in Virginia its whole life, Arlington Hall Station then Fort Belvoir.
