Portable Power Pumper unit carried by CCC enrollees.

Caption: Portable Power Pumper unit (Pacific Marine type N) carried by four CCC enrollees. L to R: Edward Vessel, Russel Widstrom, Sinclair Choan, and Irving Westerberg. Weight 80 pounds, with pack frame. Note the siphon gas hose intake, an idea developed on the Superior National Forest to do away with the original mounted gas tanks which were easily damaged in use and in transit. This pump will throw about 90 gallons of water per minute, shooting a spray above the height of any tree tops, and will handle up to 2500 feet of hose line. If longer hose line than this is needed, additional pumps in a relay system can be used.

Date: August 2, 1940
