Motorized fire apparatus had many effects on the fire service. These rigs could respond faster to an alarm, especially on long runs where horses would get tired. The gasoline motor could power the pump and electric lighting at the sight as well. Fewer firemen were needed than in the previous eras.

The truck at the top of the page is a Maxim built in 1923. It has distinctive chevron decorations on the fenders, and a nice use of black stripes throughout.

The lower truck has American LaFrance fire equipment on a Brockway chassis.
