Fighting fires is always dangerous. Strategy, knowledge, bravery and determination are essential to the men and women who battle blazes. And proper equipment makes their job all the more effective. When a fire takes place in an urban or residential area, there are often plenty of resources to depend on. But when a fire takes place far out in the open - in the brush, a forest or an open field - these resources must be brought quickly to the scene. This is why field trucks are such an important part of certain fire departments' fleet of speciality vehicles. These are often rugged trucks with the ability for off-road driving. They are often outfitted with generators for powering pumps, various pump apparatus, fire extinguishers, canisters, hose and other supplies. All too often, the field truck depends on the arrival of a tanker truck. A perfect vehicle for this purpose was the Dodge 4 x 4, 3/4-ton trucks that Dodge built in great numbers for the military during World War II. A heavy duty vehicle that could carry up to 3,000 pounds, the Power Wagon could get to the most isolated blazes, carry an enormous amount of equipment and power an assortment of fire fighting equipment.
