PUMP AND HOSE

HALE 1250 gpm PUMP This page is dedicated to the Hale Pump (1250 gpm) and the hose bed. In this photo, Ray Vleck has sanded the pump and is covering the glass side windows. The seat and seat belts have been removed for now, exposing the pump. Thanks to a degreaser, 40 years of road grime ended up on my driveway.

Thanks to Nokomis (FL) Fire Chief Howard Bearce for the hose, and my colleague (and former Pirsch driver) Frank Carroll for loading the hose for me. (2/2/07)
