A photo of the first Raymond Island "fire truck". It consisted of an old car chassis with a trailer coupling at the front, and a 44 Gallon drum on chains at the back. David thinks it started it's life in the late 40's.It used to be housed at Billy Brown's place ( he was the fire officer ) Billy would lend it to people so they could replenish their water supplies from a water tower near the old ferry landing ( now our launching ramp ) David does not think that the furphy was ever used " in anger " , but he could be wrong.
