Demonstrator
1911 Ahrens-Fox
450 GPM
Serial #500 Model: A
This was the first motorized apparatus constructed by Ahrens-Fox. The piston pump mounted on this rig has an onion shaped dome that appears to be the same type that would have been mounted on a steam fire engine. This configuration of pump was deemed a failure by Ahrens-Fox and this first pumper was the only of it's kind built. These photos show the rig while being demonstrated for firefighters and curious citizens. The first picture appears to have been taken in Covington, Kentucky while the others look to be on the hills of Cincinnati.

This photo was taken on June 29, 1914 and shows the rig ready for a parade. Apparently the BPOE were having some type of event and a few decorations were added!
