Pumper Equipped with Flood Lights
Through the generosity of Francis E. Ingals, of Chaffinch island, Conn., Guilford now has a 750-gallon Maxim pumper of special design. Fire departments form the major hobby of Mr. Ingals, and he has contributed in a large measure to the design of the new pumper.
One truck carries all the equipment. Space from the hose body was taken for a 2 k.w. Kohler 110-volt lighting plant which gives current for three flood lights and one arc searchlight. There are other lights about the truck. Three of the flood lights have long cables so that the lights may be placed on nearbs' buildings, or some distance from the apparatus. The arc light is a marine nine-inch searchlight as found on large boats.
