Manchester New Hampshire firemen built a combined hose and chemical auto truck in under four months, saving the city an estimated eight to ten thousand dollars. Starting August 17, the project reclaimed an old chassis and produced a four ton vehicle with 1400 feet of hose and an 85 gallon chemical tank, now in service at the Maple Street hose house. Chief Charles H. French designed and supervised the build with a crew of eight, including Captains Harvey and Gage and Lieutenants Kenney Nute Merrill, among others. Outside components were bought, while most of the truck was manufactured locally at Amoskeag mills foundry and department shops.
