Does anyone have photo's of the old Civil Defense pumpers?  I think they were Ward LaFrance, perhaps model years around 1954.

I remember them being used for training the Auxiliary Firemen and also for engine company spares.

Best kept one I ever saw was CD-25, which was quartered over at E-159 in Staten Island.
 
After a month o' hunting, found only one CD pumper on the net [ http://www.nyfd.com/brooklyn_engines/engine_283.html ].  It's about 2/3 the way down the page.

Anyone have more?
 
I am pretty sure the new Squad book from FAJ has a shot or two.
 
:)Page 36 of the new FAJ Squad Apparatus shows (1970) 1952 Ward LaFrance 750 GPM Pumper. It is lettered for Squad Company 2. Grumpy Grizzly 8)
 
Many companies had auxiliaries.  Most rode with the apparatus of the company, but many were freelancers who traveled in their own vehicles from fire to fire.
