After World War I, many Mack Trucks were converted to fire fighting vehicles and their success and durability in this area led to exclusive use of MACK AC trucks by fire departments for the next several decades. The 1920 MACK AC Water Tower Truck was a prominent vehicle in fire departments' fleets. Before the arrival of multi-storey aerial ladder trucks, the water sprayer truck allowed fire departments to get significantly closer to a blaze, especially in multi-floor blazes. The intricate lattice-work tower's arcade could be raised, rotated and extended towards a fire, and it was equipped with a high-pressure water gun. No, the widely-used 1920 MACK AC Water Tower Truck is recreated in a precision-engineered die-cast replica. |
