This is the first time we have ever seen this truck outside it's storage building/garage (just to the left, not shown). The new fire station was built in front of the garage door where this truck has been parked for years. To get it out, just recently, they cut a large hole in the back wall of the garage and pulled the truck out. (05.15.04)

The labels that said "ELLINGER" have been removed from the doors exposing the underlying lettering "HEMPSTEAD." Note the hand rails around the doors of the cab. They were used by firemen who rode to the fire standing on the running boards. They were probably installed when the tailboard was taken up by the hose reel. (05.15.04)

Pump controls. Note the 'pump' and 'clutch' hand levers at the top. Looks like a 3-inch suction and 1-1/2 discharge. (05.15.04)
