| These photos were taken and sent in by Tom Taggart This great looking rig is a 1942 GMC-Minnesota Fire Equipment Class 500 USA 502906, owned by Mark & Kelli Jones from CA. The rig served at Camp White, OR. The GMC is still used at aircraft fly-in events and has battled several brush fires while traveling to musters and shows. |
| Mark and Kelli also own this 1943 Ford-Hahn Class 525. They restored the rig and report that it served at an Army Air Field in Co. The FTAW data base has a rig of this type serving at the LaJunta Army Air Field in CO. Could it be the same rig? Thanks to Mark and Kelli for the pictures and preserving these two great examples of Army Fire Apparatus |
