Crystal Lake Yes those lights were cool. I could never figure out why they never used an additional one for more effective warning to the rear. The one left fender mount Mars on our town’s rescue truck used a 50 candle power.bulb.
Someone had stock in the Mars lighting company, lol. I don't think I have ever seen so many trucks equipped with Mars lights in one department. Very cool stuff.
Similar to today's rapid response SUVs, Pickups, and other smaller vehicles. Mostly intended to transport firefighters or doctors to an emergency. They also sometimes functioned as a rescue truck or ambulance.
I love these old films.
Great to see the Mars FL-8 on so many of those trucks. And a cameo from the buckeye roto-ray.

These old films are awesome. 👍
There’s more apparatus coming out of that house than clowns coming out of a VW bug.
Electric automatic doors on the station. I thought those were a relatively new thing.
Getting your gear on while riding the back step, those were the days!
Really cool old trucks! I do recognize a GMC panel truck, probably about a '52 or '53. Thanks for posting this video.
You're welcome!

That’s how you run to a fire..
First pumper, the second pumper, then the third pumper, then the gas pumper responding from the gas station.
