Built by General Motors and the Jaeger Portable Power Corp. of Detroit Michigan,this truck was sold to the City of Hopkinsville for $3,050 and was delivered by rail on January 22, 1927. The pump capacity is 350 gallons a minute. After WWII the pumper was transferred to Riverside Cemetery for dirt hauling. In 1964, Leland Davis purchased the pumper for $25. His son Bob had the truck restored and in April 1999 donated it to the Pennyroyal Area Museum.

The coordinates are for the entrance to the Woody Winfree Fire and Transportation Museum which is across the street from the Pennyroyal Area Museum.
