Manufactured in Woodstock,
Ontario from 1928 to 1939, the Chieftain was a triplecombinaison pumping
engine equipped with a fire pump, water tank, hose and ladders. Smaller
equipment included fire extinguishers, axes, lanterns, pike pole, and a
powerful searchlight. A six-cylinder gasoline engine powered the truck and
its rotary pump. These vehicles were distinguished by their classic gabled
hood with horizontal louvres and cast-aluminium radiator.
