See the enormous variety of volunteer and rural fire apparatus built in 20th Century America. Small town fire departments relied on fire apparatus built on commercial truck chassis from Ford, Chevrolet, Dodge or International. The chassis would be sent to a builder, such as Boardman, Pierce, or Seagrave, who would outfit them with a pump, hosebed, ladder racks, and such. Some departments did the outfitting themselves, relying on a local bodyshop or welder to do bodywork.

Now, accomplished fire apparatus authors, W. Wayne Sorensen and Donald F. Wood, have compiled hundreds of photos of these unique smalltown rigs into one Photo Gallery. See ladder trucks, tank trucks, rescue trucks, brush rigs and more. Every firefighting enthusiast will enjoy this fascinating collection of photographs.
