The American LaFrance Fire Engine Company made fire engines and all that went along with them for a long time - officially from 1873 until their closure in 2014. The companies that would hereafter make up LaFrance date as far back as 1832.
One of those fire engines produced in the early 20th century was one 6 cylinder, 105 horsepower Type 75 Triple Combination Pump Chemical and Hose Car, and this one helped fight fires for the Euclid Fire Department.
The engine boasted a 750 G.P.M. rotary gear pump, a 40 gallon chemical tank, and 1200 feet of 2.5" hose. The body and rims were a brilliant red.
The Type 75 was a popular model and many were produced. Production ran from 1915 to 1927.
