This engine was retired as Tanker 831, it is a 1968 GMC. It had a front mounted 500 gpm pump with a 100' preconnect on each side of the pump. It had a 1000 gallon tank with a rear dump, the Q-siren mounted in the center of the hood was extremely loud. Also it had no break on it and many times you could pull up on-scene and put out the fire, then walk back to the truck and it would still be winding down. The truck was donated to a Chinquapin Fire Department at the North Carolina Coast after Hurricane Fran destroyed some of their equipment from flood waters and winds.
