Four Wheel Drive Apparatus

The Four Wheel Drive Auto Company, more often known as Four Wheel Drive (FWD), was founded in 1909 in Clintonville, Wisconsin, as the Badger Four-Wheel Drive Auto Company. The success of the four-wheel drive in early military tests prompted the company to switch from cars to trucks. In 1963, FWD acquired Seagrave Fire Apparatus who then moved from their old location in Columbus, Ohio, to their current location at FWD in Clintonville, Wisconsin. Many tower ladders in the 1990s using Seagrave chassis were branded as FWD. They used Baker Aerialscopes for the boom which FWD had also acquired over the years along with Almonte Fire Trucks.

Paterson placed its first FWD apparatus order in 1950 when they ordered a 6-cylinder pumper for Engine Company 12 and the first non-Ahrens Fox aerial truck since 1929. Engine 12 had received a new Mack pumper in 1948, but the hills in their area were tough to climb and the department ordered the powerful FWD.

December 26, 1951: The 1951 FWD Waukesha, Model 145 GKB 6 Cylinder 1000 GPM pumper arrived for use at Engine Company 12 and their Mack was sent to Engine Company 1 at 115 Van Houten Street. The nameplate on the apparatus list James Kennedy as the acting chief (Chief Troy had died in 1951). Photo below is in bay at Headquarters at 115 Van Houten Street when apparatus arrived and before a "12" was painted on the door. Also in photo is FF William Comer in driver seat and Chief Strathearn and BC Joe Bray

July 11 1952: A 1952 model 85' FWD hook and ladder truck (had both an FWD tractor and aerial) which had been ordered in 1950 was finally put in service as Truck 2 at Headquarters on Van Houten Street. Its model number was Model FA85K. In the following year it was transferred to Truck Company 1 at the 23rd Avenue firehouse. Later on it would also serve as Truck Company 3. This is Paterson's first aerial that had a windshield for the tillerman.

May 11, 1954: Truck Company 1 received a new 1954 FWD tractor (Serial # 8042) which was attached to its Ahrens Fox Aerial (Serial # 2047). Also on that date Truck 3's original 1932 Ahrens Fox tractor was replaced with a 1954 FWD Tractor (Serial # 8041): the aerial remained Ahrens Fox serial 2059. But very soon thereafter on June 11, 1954 the tractor was damaged in a collision with Engine Company 12's 1951 FWD pumper. The old (1932) Ahrens Fox Tractor was reattached to the Fox aerial. On November 12, 1954 FWD Tractor (#8041) and Fox Aerial (#2059) returned to service. 
​
December 20, 1954: The FWD aerial (Model FA85K) was sent to Truck Company 1 on 23rd Avenue. Truck Company 2 received an aerial truck consisting of a new 1954 FWD Tractor (Serial #8042) attached to Paterson's 1932 Ahrens Fox aerial (#2058). The 1954 tractor is seen below on right and the 1952 tractor on the left.​ The most prominent visible distinction is the "FWD" emblem below the radiator on the 1954 cab and the chrome bumper strips on the "52.". The 1954 models had red flasher lights at upper corners of windshield. Grill louver pattern also differs between the '52 and '54 models.
