Fire Engines Photos

The classic rural country Pumper - still being made - relatively simple body on a commercial truck chassis - easy on the County's budget!

No need for a Crew-Cab; as the Volunteers respond directly to fire-scene, in their own vehicles (POV's); after ascertaining that someone is definitely getting the truck(s) out.....

Still got the rear-step and grab-handles; H & S-wise, likely only occupied for a funeral these days....

GMC truck ?

The body height would indicate a good-sized Water Tank, with the Rear Hose-Bed, on top.... say, about 1200 Imperial Gallons (1440 US Gallons, 5,455 Litres) ?

Is this Engine 7 normally at Station 7 on Frolona Road, Heard County, Georgia, USA ?

I've been looking at the County's Fire & Emergency Services Web-Site at:

www.heardfire.com

BTW Engine 9 is shown at picture 20240...

Great photo, thanks.
