It is a military Class 500 truck used on the home front during the war for structural fires at air fields, military posts and defense plants. This vehicle was delivered to the Corps of Engineers in November, 1943. The original data plate showing delivery is still attached to the instrument panel. The truck corries it's original hood number, 507007. Included manufacturing and delivery documents verify production and delivery dates. Although many Class 500 fire trucks were produced for the war effort, the Buffalo C-100 is rare. It is estimated that of the 40 trucks built by Buffalo, only 5 others exist.

The history of this fire truck's service after delivery to the Corps of Engineers is unknown.It was recovered intact from a Northern Michigan salvage yard with all wartime accessories attached. The truck is faithfully restored to it's original condition and runs well. The 500 gpm Hale Pump requires cooler lines. The turbine and all valves operate freely..
