Also stationed at Lunken was this early 1950's vintage American LaFrance crash truck. Next to this apparatus is a WWII vintage Seagrave engine. Does anyone know where the military fire station was located at Lunken?

1942 IH-John Bean High Pressure Fog Unit with a 500 gallon tank Shop #20042. Long before there was CR 1, this rig was operated by Engine 18 for protection at Lunken Airport. The U.S. Army operated at least 2 pieces of apparatus at Lunken. This piece was turned over to the CFD and still bears the military identification number on the front bumper. It is not know if Cincinnati ever operated the other military rig.

I was fortunate enough to have a DCFD firefighter find this brochure and allow me to have it becuase of this photo. If you have any additional information regarding this rig, please contact CFD History!
