The story behind this Frederica (DE) Volunteer Fire Company tanker is that when the 1974 Ford/Fire Cab tanker arrived it was too tall for the station so it was sent back to Ford. The Ford people then decided to lowered the tank, but to maintain the same water capacity the chassie and tank were lengthened a couple of feet, thus the tanker became a stretch model and very unique.
