1908 Hayes 85' Aerial Ladder - 1918 Mack Tractor 

5 1/2 ton tractor restored in 1980.

This truck and others like it were the backbone of the Baltimore Department for some sixty years.  Originally drawn by three horses, several types of gasoline tractors were attached to the front until 1971, when it was retired.

The repair shops also modified the trailer with such improvements as the Dahill air-over-oil hoist for raising the main ladder.  Hook and Ladder companies usually carried equipment for chimney fires, flood lights and portable generator, and high rise life saving appliances.

Tractor given by Arthur Guau.  Vehicle No. 41

Restore to 1940 appearance in 1980

On display at The Fire Museum of Maryland.
