fire dept service vehicle

[Guest marlin65]

My brother-in-law bought a 54 (we think) Ford sedan delivery.In looking over a given up restoration on this vehicle we now think it was used by a small town fire dept as a service vehicle.We can see red paint,and painted over emblems in the form of decals.Also seems to have been some sort of shelving along one side.My question is what would this vehicle have carried to a fire?If he looks on Ebay for red roof lights,sirens etc what does he look under?I would imagine I'm going to be involved in some phase of this rebuild as this is a first for him. Email me off the list ebittman@tampabay.rr.com Thanks.
