From Chief Drew Smith:
Here are two photos of our old tanker.
It is the second tanker owned by the PHFD. This one was a 1968 Ford/Darley with a 750-GPM two-stage pump and 1,500-gallon water tank. In 1989 we sent it to Darley to have the pump rebuilt then to Monroe Truck to have a wet side 1,500-gallon tank installed. The rest of the 1989 refurb was done in-house and included paint, striping and lettering, and the installation of cross lays and new pump panel. It served from 1986 until 1994 when the 3,000-gallon/1,250-GPM Spartan/S&S tanker was placed in service. During it’s 21 years it had the radio signatures of “#6,” 174, and Tanker 9.
