I was going to post this in my Arnprior Fire Department thread, but I think this truck is special enough to gets its own.
It's a 1945 White WA22 / Bickle-Seagrave pump. Purchased by Arnprior, it responded up until the 70's when it was sold locally to a private citizen. A friend of mine who is an apparatus collector bought it last year, and brought it by the department prior to training one evening. For its age it's in very good shape. I had an opportunity to drive it(with my then-4 year old son sitting next to me, how great is that?) and I can say that the lads that came before were made of some stern stuff.
I can't recall the pump specs off of the top of my head, but I'll get those.
