Jeff is right about the step van which, due to the awful color was known by some as "The Billious Bomb". It was pretty bad, compared to its predecessor. The truck replaced by the step van was a 1958 Chevrolet Utility Body with 4 Indian tanks in the back. It also had a long bench seat positioned lenghtwise. Compartments on the sides had a variety of hand tools, brush fire tools council rakes and brooms,etc. It had portable pump and generator with 4 portable flood lights, all of which were also up on the rear deck. It also carried Resuscitator and basic (VERY basic) first aid equipment. Prior to that, the first Patrol 8 was an old telephone truck-1952 or 1953 utility type. I really don't know too much about that one because when I joined CFFD in 1963 the white 4x4 was there. The "billious bomb" was replaced by Rescue 28, originally a Saulsbury box on a 1985 Ford chasis.which was replaced by the current GK Simon Duplex, and was refurbed by GK and is now located in CFFD Station 2, and now numbered as Utility 28.
