This is a rather unique old fire truck, it is a circa 1980’s Van Pelt pumper that was formerly used by the Newark Fire Department in Alameda County California. P.E. Van Pelt had been working as a distributor for the Dodge Brothers when he built his first fire truck for the Oakdale, CA fire dept. This led to him forming P.E. Van Pelt Inc. in 1925 which became the largest manufacturer of fire apparatus in the western half of the United States. The company built fire trucks on a variety of commercial truck chassis as well as on their own custom chassis beginning in 1960. Van Pelt fire trucks were commonly used by a large number of fire departments in California, Oregon, Washington and other western states. Some of their models included the Custom 300 Cab-Ahead and the Hi-Ranger Firearm snorkel. The Van Pelt corporation was purchased by now defunct fire apparatus manufacturer FMC in 1978 and production of Van Pelt fire trucks continued until 1987 when the factory was closed and the name retired.
The Newark Fire Dept before being taken over by the Alameda County F.D. had several trucks that were painted either yellow or yellow with a blue stripe - which is one of my favorite apparatus color combos. I did an extensive editing job on the last 2 pics of this fire engine to show what it would look like if it had the blue stripe. One feature of note on this rig are the polished aluminum wheels. This type of wheel (or wheel covers) are normally only seen on commercial trucks sold exclusively in the European market. This is one of the few American fire trucks that I have seen with these European style wheels.

Located near Cherryville, NC at Hugh's Pond Fire Station 72. This siren is owned by the fire department. Unknown why this siren is on the ground. And unknown what are plans on this siren. Details: 1978 Model 5A manufactured by Federal Signal.
Here is a mix of NYPD Highway Patrol's auxiliary units and standard HP units. This is at Highway Patrol Unit 3 in Queens, NY. The biggest post HWY has. HWY 3 holds the NYPD's horses and most of the motors for HWY.
35mm scan edited for clarity, I took these pics over 10 years ago. The slicktop Crown Vic has Red & Blue strobes on the right side.
35mm scan edited for clarity. This is a CDF California Dept of Forestry CDF Ford C-Series Type 1 Model 9 fire engine. The Model 9 was purchased by the CDF between 1966 & 1972. This truck could be 4wd but I suspect that it's 2wd because it looks alot lower to the ground than most other older off-road fire trucks that I have seen.
Located in Greenwood, SC at Lander University. Here's a retake photo. This siren is used as an emergency notification siren and is tested at the first Monday of every month at 9:00 AM ET. Controlled by the university.

This is probably a 1998 Ford Crown Victoria police package, it may also be a 1999 CVPI model with the civilian style chrome trim option.
I photographed this new International Workstar Crewcab Explosives Ordnance Disposal rig before markings were installed so while I think it belongs to the U.S. Air Force it could also be going to the U.S. Navy. I like the unique Jetsolaris lightbar on top.
2001 Ford F-250 Super Duty base extended cab pickup & 2002-2007 International 7000 series (7400 - 7600 now known as the Workstar). The Workstar name was added in 2008 but this rounded aero style cab was introduced in 2002. The La Honda Fire Brigade is one of the few all volunteer fire departments in California. 35mm scan photographed by me near Half Moon Bay circa 2006.
Another one of my many photos of the tow truck fleet from Palace Garage Towing Recovery. Palace has one of the largest Freeway Service Patrol contracts in Alameda County. The unique taillight arrowboards that they have on their tow trucks are visible from miles away and should be utilized on all recovery trucks.
This is a former USFS 1980-1989 1st generation Chevrolet Kodiak that was in possession of the Nevada Division of Forestry when I took these pics back in 2014. I don't know what they ended up doing with this fire truck, probably sold it. It has room for a couple of fire crew members behind the cab. All of the firefighting hoses and other equipment in back has been stripped out.

35mm scans taken by me over a decade ago in San Francisco and edited for clarity. This is a California Office of Emergency Services 1992-1996 Ford Econoline radio/satellite van and a 1998-2001 Dodge Ram Quadcab. Both of these emergency vehicles are used to facilitate communications between first responders during major emergencies. Newer versions of this pickup truck & van are white with blue stripes.
