Barnstable County Forest Fire Service No.4 was built in 1951. It was built on a 1951 Ford 6 wheel all wheel drive chassis. Also built by Robinson Boiler of Cambridge, the truck featured a higher sided body that provided some additional protection for personnel riding within the body around the 800 gallon water tank and 150 gpm pump.

     County No.4, also known as C-12, was assigned to the Dennis Fire Department. Harold Cobb photos.
