This is a 1941 Indianapolis Fire Department 8-P 750 GPM Fire Truck. This truck was built by hand by Firefighters for Firefighters in the old repair shops in Fountain Square, Indianapolis. Firefighters loved working off these trucks, the oldest one on record was used up until 1968.
Service Record: Engine 17 – 12/01/1941. Engine 12 – 12/03/1952. Engine 16 – 10/20/1955. Reserve – 01/10/1966. Sold – 06/16/1969.
The truck was 3D scanned by the IUPUI University Library using a Creaform Spark, and Creaform Go Scan 50. Portions of the truck were re-created using reverse engineering methods. Scanning took about a week with a crew of three people.
