This chemical/hose car was one of the
museum’s first acquisitions. It has been part of the
LA County Fire Department since the early 1960s, when it was
designated as Engine 1/2. Powered by the Ford four-cylinder
Model T engine, this vehicle has a larger chassis than its
1915 predecessors. Also, it is equipped with two chemical
tanks and an extension ladder. Engine 1/2 has been used in
numerous public fire education campaigns. In 1997, it was
one of several antique fire apparatus that performed the inaugural
parade lap at the new California Speedway in Fontana.
