This is a 1922 Dodge Touring Car, DCFD Serial No. 05, assigned to the Superintendent of Machinery. The DCFD Repair Shop is in the background next to Engine Co. 8 quarters. The American LaFrance in one of Engine 8's apparatus bays may be a 1920 750 gpm pumper DCFD Serial No. 125 which was assigned to Engine 8

When you think about barn find fire trucks, do you ever think they'd be in a 1912 fire station in Pakistan? Two were! Stored since the late 60's

She made the right contacts in the Pakistani government to see that the 2 fire trucks were made available to restorers like Romano!
If you like these, and ever find yourself in Pakistan, you'l want to take a look at the working one that is in Karachi. For a gallery of these fire engines:
