Truck #7
A 1982 Ford/3D pumper, this truck was designed and built with one mission in mind. Water. Truck #7 had a 750 gallon per minute pump but carried no water. This truck had a reel on the back that carried 4" supply hose. This mission of this truck was to supply large amounts of water to a fire scene with the hose that it carried, but make it easy for firefighters to "lay out" and "pick up" the hose.
Truck #7 was sold in 1993.
