First Vehicles
The department's first fire truck was purchased for $500 by the Burke Communities Civic
Association. It was a war surplus, 1932 Ford truck, purchased from the
Annandale Fire Department. This pumper became known affectionately as
"Old Red". In the spring of 1950, the BVFRD bought a new fire
truck, a 1 and 1/2 ton Ford truck. "Old Red" now became a reserve pumper.
