Paterson's RD Murray Apparatus
RD Murray built enclosed cab fire trucks on commercial or custom chassis including Spartan and they are called RD Murray/Spartan pumpers. They had stainless steel construction and were prized for their adaptability. They ceased production in 2010 and were initially acquired by American LaFrance, who faced bankruptcy and were then absorbed into E-ONE (re-launched RD-Murray line).
1996-1998 (or December 1995?): Three RD Murray 1500 GPM pumpers, painted white, enter service at Engine 1 (1996), Engine 5 (1996), Engine 4 (1998)
