Dover uses oil trucks as emergency fire pumpers
The Dover New Hampshire civil defense plan converts 24 privately owned oil and gasoline trucks into auxiliary pumpers costing about 250 dollars each for water pumping, reloading at one site, with plans for four strategic outlets and training for drivers. Seventeen oil companies supply trucks, with minimal mixing of gasoline and water and little fuel loss. The piece notes a Japanese occupation scenario with strict controls and propaganda, including blackout, conversion of currencies, and compulsory civic obedience.
