Power comes from a 309ci Buick inline-six paired with a four-speed manual transmission, and the truck is equipped with a 12-volt electrical system along with an onboard water pump, a front spotlight, rotating red beacon light and front fender-mounted siren, feed hoses, ladders, and three fire extinguishers. This pumper is powered by a Junior V-12, with redundant starters, plugs, and distributors.This 1926 American LaFrance Type 42 is a dually fire truck that underwent a refurbishment from 2009 through 2012 and was acquired in 2020 by the seller. The current restoration goal is to get new tires and brakes installed so that is will be rolling stock and can be used for fire truck rides on the Fourth of July. The bell you can see in the first photo was moved to its replacement, the 1977 Howe engine, and then again to the current Engine #2, the 2005 Spartan. This engine is still owned by FVFD after being sold off then re-bought by members and eventually donated back to the department. The first photos of "Big Red" show up in the Aug. The next best bid for similar equipment, a Seagrave build truck, came to approximately $18,200 delivered here.

This is to eliminate the practice of riding the side steps. Seating capacity, in addition to the driving seat, provides for five men in side-entrance seats. Turning radius is listed at 25 feet right or left. It is said to be 15 times safer than the conventional driver's seat. The high pressure feature is said by firemen to add considerably to water supply and the effectiveness of the "fog nozzles" used so frequently by the local department both in extinguishing confined fires and in giving protection from heat and flames to firemen handling the nozzles.ĭesign of the truck is a "cab-ahead-of-engine" type giving a a greater angle of visibility to the driver. It will also deliver 600 pounds pressure on the booster lines. The new pumper to be delivered in July is an Invader Pumper 750 and capable of delivering 750 gallons of water per minute. The latter has served the district, including the city of Ferndale, continuously since its purchase in 1937. The new truck will replace the present American LaFrance pumper owned by the district. Ferndale firemen, who are to operate the new equipment, set up details on the type of equipment needed for the valley district's fire protection.
