1987 R-Model MACK 2500 gal. tank, 750 gpm pump, built by New Lexington fire apparatus. This was an over the road tractor with a chassis extention, and our tank and pump added. The tank and pump was from our prior tanker which was hit by a drunk driver in the rear axels and bent the frame. The old chassis was a 75 International fleetstar. This occured about 15 years ago.

Our department bought a tanker / pumper from Southern Fire. It carries 2000 gallons of water and also has a 1250 GPM pump. It is a great truck to have. We only have 9 hydrants in 20 square miles.

We have a '91 International with a '77 4-Guys 1800 gallon body. I'll try to get the pic posted later. We've had the body since it was new(used to be on a Ford chassis). While we have hydrants just about everywhere now, we still run the old gal' a good bit, especially on mutual aid calls. We are right at the northern tip of West Virginia, right where OH, PA, and WV meet. In fact we are the northernmost fire dept. in WV. We see a bunch of mutual aid runs into Beaver County, Pennsylvania. In fact (knock on wood) we've only had 1 structure fire call this winter so far- just about every fire we run is aid to another dept. Our calls are usually either EMS or auto extrication.
