The plaque says, "This C-Cab, one ton truck, would have been widely used in the early oil fields of Olinda. Twenty horse power, two-speed transmission and worm diver rear axle provided low gear power. This was ideal for all the steep hill climbs on the Olinda Lease. This display represents a chemical first response firefighting unite. Originally pulled by two men, the fire extinguishing agent would have been generated from the combination of soda and water when the tank was laid in a horizontal position."
