By the way them tanks do look like CO2 cascade tanks, and not Soda Acid Chemical
tanks.
That would mean that this was some type of industrial truck, possibility an
airport.
Some companies had Chemical, Hook & ladder, hose, steamer etc. to describe the
duty the company did or distinguish them from another department in town. This
tradition is still seen today, and even some of the old monikers are still in
use.

It's probably why there are still so many fire companies among volunteer
departments that include the word "chemical" in their names.
