Edgartown - 1930 Ford Model AA / Barton 350/200 Forestry |
The Edgartown Forest Fire Department operated this 1930 Ford Model AA truck. It apparently had a Barton 350 gpm pump front mounted and carried about 200 gallons of water. It would have had some hose and tools. The truck was probably the first fire truck to serve on Chappaquiddick Island when it was assigned there in 1950. |

Edgartown - Engine 2 - 1956 Ford F800 4x4 / Maynard 750/800 Brush Breaker |
Edgartown Engine 2 was a 1956 Ford F800 4x4 / Maynard Brush Breaker. Like other trucks of that era, it also served as an engine with a 750 gpm front mount pump and carried a healthy 800 gallons of water making it quite useful for any type of fires at the time. It carried about 1200' of 2-1/2" hose, 400' of 1-1/2" hose, 400' of 2/3" hose on 2 reels, a 16' and 35' ladder, and other essential equipment. The truck cost about $11,900 in 1956 and was built by Maynard in Marshfield, Mass. It also had a 250 gpm auxiliary pump driven by a second motor that enabled pump and roll capability for off road brush fires as a brush breaker. It served from 1956 to approximately 1977. |
