From the info I do have, the original build was in 1941 and that it was rebuilt after a wreck, supposedly in 1947, but perhaps that is when the wreck took place and the rebuild was later, using sheet metal from an A model. I think I was told that it was originally an E model. I would agree on it being a Type 45 and those were 500 GPM. I have my theories, but I have been unable to confirm anything.

Hopefully, Reedsville's new firehouse sits a bit farther from the road than the old one. As you may have noticed in my two pics, the trucks were barely out of the doors, but the front bumpers were at the edge of the road. I was standing in the road to get my pics. There are many stories of mishaps such at these, some worse than others. Having actively visited fire stations to take pics since 1981, I have encountered dozens of them and witnessed several! As a Firefighter for over 32 years, I have also been involved in a couple and even though I was the responsible party, I was not completely at fault. Both happened exiting the same bay at the same station, but in different trucks and one on each side of the apparatus. There is a 1" to 3" drop, depending on the time of year, from the station floor to the outside ramp. In both cases, several years apart, the drop was closer to the 3" mark. If the rig was not backed in squarely with the building, you drop one front tire before the other, causing the body to shift and occasionally, a lift-up door to unlatch. Both times, the lift-up door was about halfway up when it hit the overhead door track. Both times, the door removed itself from the side of the rig and landed on the floor. Damage to the building was minimal. Repairs took less time than all the paperwork!

You could be 100% correct. I was simply going by what I was told, but I could have been told wrong. I'll adjust my records. Thanks!
