1935 Ford Tank 1
 
 
 
 
 
1935 Tank 1 and 1938 Engine 5

Supporting any brush fire operation would require a tanker.  Falmouth operated this
1935 Ford 800 gallon tanker as Tank 35. It served until 1965.
 


Some departments built engines that could also serve as tankers and be able to
battle grass and brush fires.  Maxim built this large pumper for Falmouth in 1938.
 

Falmouth Engine 5 had a 500 gpm pump and 1000 gallon tank.
It was assigned to East Falmouth from 1938 to 1963
 

Falmouth Engine 5 was mostly water tank.  Upon retirement from Falmouth it served
another 7 years as Mashpee's Engine 5.
