This customized Indian appeared in the February 1947 issue of Popular Science. It was used by the Douglas Aircraft Company at their facility in El Segundo, CA. A motorcycle was chosen over a standard firetruck because it could fit down the narrow aisles and into other confined spaces of the large aircraft manufacturing plant. It was outfitted with two 30 lbs Du-gas extinguishers, two 15 lbs carbon-dioxide extinguishers and two 2 lbs carbon-dioxide extinguishers. The platform for this vehicle was a standard Indian Dispatch Tow, which used a 45" Scout side valve V-twin motor.
