Here is a view of the Rocky Mountain Arsenal, 1969 International-Fire Truck Inc. pumper while in service. Rig was equipped with a 750 gpm pump and carried 300 gals of water.

On a related note...THIS truck was just taken OOS in a tiny town in my fire district, and returned to us (state forestry). It is a ex-army pumper...cool to compare to the other 68 internationals on here! Not sure where this vehicle served in the military.

no connection with item or seller..info only for Mil Fire Truck thread reference..

Description from ad:
This 1963 2 1/2 6x6 deuce M44 A1 has a 2000 gallon water tank with working pumps and hose reels. MFR Serial # M-65247. I bought the truck to build it into a hunting buggy and then decided to go a different direction. Truck runs great no leaks and the pumping system does work. Hose reel works and has all necessary hoses to put out a fire. The truck does have two problems. Some kids throw rocks & cracked the passenger side door window and the air brake no longer work from sitting. Other then those two items truck looks and runs great.

It appears the above old girl started life as a Ward LaFrance Class 530B. The pump panel is identical to those mounted on the WdLaFrs from that era.

[milfireguy]

The above, Class 530B manufactured by Defense Products Group of the American Air Filter Co. Many of the pump controls are missing and the water tank has been enlarged to over 800 gallons.

 

[milfireguy]

I had the opportunity to work on this 1969 Class 530B by American Air Filter at Dong Ha, Vietnam during 1970. I am currently working on a data base of Class 530Bs used by the Army and would like hear from 530B owners and those with delivery information on these old girls. Especially need hood registration numbers/manufacturer to develope the data base. If you can help on this project contact me by email. milfireguy@comcast.net

Many Thanks,

Ted
