The thing I rmember most of the older Wards was if the vacuum switch for the clutch didn't work it was a heck of a long leg stretch to hold the clutch in and reach the road / pump handle on the pump panel.  Other then that these rigs could take a beating.

I can only comment on how we use to receive calls for either fire or medical emergencies when I was an active member there.  ( 1968 ? 1977) During fund drive, where we would go door to door requesting donations we would distribute telephone and window stickers with several telephone numbers on...

Back in the late 60's early 70,s I'm not sure of the makes or models, but I do remember several of the Batt. cars as being either Ford or Dodge 4-door station wagons.  Besides the cases with the Scott air packs, inhalator/Resuscitator , turnout gear for the chief and aide and a first aid kit.
