This 1933 Mack Pumper had to be a "Cadillac" in its day.   The "No. 2" on the hood indicates that this pumper was assigned to
Station 2 on East Broadway upon its arrival in NLR. The NLR City Council unanimously approved the purchase of this "Fire
Machine" as the NLR Times called it in November, 1932. According to the records of the Mack Truck Historical Society, the
pumper was delivered to North Little Rock on February 20, 1933. The chasis number of the apparatus was CBQ1004.

The arrival of this new 750 GPM Triple Combination Pumper "identical to Little Rock's latest machine" meant that the 1917
American La France was no longer in front line service.  This Pumper was purchased for $11.300.00, which was a great sum of
money in 1932. The 1933 Mack apparently was the last pumper purchased by the N.L.R.F.D. which had a chemical tank, instead
of a booster water tank.

The 1933 Mack was in service as Company 2's pumper from 1933 until 1951. It may have been a reserve for a brief period
when the two 1947 American LaFrance pumpers arrived in late 1947 or early 1948. The Mack definitely was in "front -line"
service in 1949 when the Rose City Station (Station 4) was opened. The most likely order of events appears to be that the
1939 Seagrave pumper was moved to Station 4. The '33 Mack was then sent (again) to Station 2 as the pumper.

In 1951, a new Seagrave 1000 GPM Custom pumper was delivered. This new '51 Seagrave went to Central Station. The
1947 American LaFrance at Central was transfered to Station 2 as Company 2, and hence the '33 Mack was no longer
in "Front Line Duty."

This pumper saw service in the 1947 Elk's Club Fire. Newpaper photos definitely show this pumper in action.
