Description
This Japanese fire fighting pumper must be drawn by a team of people, horses, or another vehicle. It does have rubber tires, several gauges, a bell, and space for fire fighters to ride on top. On the back of the apparatus is a motor for the pumping function. The round part near the top of the back with the crank is possibly a siren. From Basil Rice.
