Having originally served as a Class A pumper for 24 years, this rig was converted to a hose truck complete with a large diameter hose reel.

With the arrival of a new engine, the department retired this piece thus ending the practice of having a reel equipped hose truck. The engine that was replaced with the new rig
was then assigned specifically as a hose truck featuring a hose load of strictly of 5" LDH supply line.MillburyMackRural AmericanVTecWater SupplyReel EquippedRetired
