Description
Large framed color photograph of Minneapolis Fire Department's Big Red Fire Truck. Wood frame with gold detailing and glass glaze. Cardboard backing."This is Big Red, a [1959] Walter airport crash truck that the Minneapolis Fire Department placed in service in 1976 as Foam-Hose 1. Serial #588533. Shop #7158.
The ex-Army rig was rebuilt with a 1500 GPM pump pulled from another old rig, and outfitted with a pair of Stang monitors in the rear. It served for a few years, and presently resides at the American Wings Air Museum at the Anoka County Airport north of the Twin Cities."
