This 1964 Ford Econoline Van was a rescue
squad that was still being utilized as a backup
squad until late 1982. This van had a growler
siren that would reach far and wide but took
a while to get going with the kind of weight it
had to carry. It still gave some added years
to Fire Prevention.

Hand sketches from talented firemen would be used
in the new training manual created by Ed Temby for
illustration.

John Lodarski shields his face from the intense
heat as he helps to man another line while the
men on duty attack the fire.
