This special vehicle was remodeled into a fire truck by adding fire-fighting appliances to a 1933 Ford truck. This vehicle was used in the Korean War, then by Daegu Fire Station after the war. In 1956, the vehicle was transferred to Sangju Volunteer Fire Brigade. This is the oldest fire-engine truck through which we can peep into the history of introducing special vehicles.
