New Fire Truck and
Equipment to Aid '.
Local Fire Fighters

The Hardin fire department
Speaking collectively is a
proud papa this week. The new
baby is a shiny new fire truck,
complete with all the latest
gadgets.
Firemen said the new equip
ment will make it possible to
fight blazes more efficiently and
extinguish them faster.
An important feature is q
booster pump which develops
400 pounds Of water pressure.
This will enable the fre-fighters
to send a stream of water much
higher than was ever possible
with the old truck.
There are two 14-foot ladders.
One of them is an extension
ladder and can be heightened to
28 feet. The truck also carries
a 400-gallon water tank and $50
feet of booster hose on a reel.
The hose can be used at any
length and does not have to be
completely unreeled.
There is, of course, a siren
and q red blinker light.
The bill was $4,000. The truck
itself is a GMC, and was pur-
chased through a local dealer.
The equipment was made by the
Boyer Fire Apparatus Company.
