1942-43? Photo of first Fire Jeeps

UPDATE: Originally I listed this as a 1941 article, based on a database date stamp. Richard pointed out the stamped grill would make this unlikely. It's a good point! Additional research suggests the paper was from the 1942-43 time frame.

This photo documents one of fifteen jeeps transformed by the Canadians into fire jeeps. I don't have a date on the newspaper, but it was published in an issue of the Flesherton Ontario Advance Newspaper.

    It's interesting that this jeep has a pressed grill in a 1941 article. The pressed grill didn't debut until Feb/Mar 1942. I believe that somebody got some wires crossed..........-RG
