I found two look-alikes that are identified as American La France. These aren't definitive. If anyone else finds better information please correct this. I've removed the Osh Kosh tag and added an American La France and Marmon Herrington tag. These suggest the vehicle may be a late 1940s or early 1950s model. I think the pickup is a 1960s model.

It's an American La France O-10, O11 A or O-11B. As used by the USAF as a Airfield Crash Tender. Built between 1951 and 1959. And in use until 1970s.

Thank you, Dirk de Vor!

I have finally got the definite answer. The Fire Crash Tender is an A.L.F. Type: O11-A. (The O-11B had a split dual cab door as seen in the second photo from 'Precious Amount' in the comment above).

Brands of vehicles cannot be identified by me because of low resolution photo.

Chuck Walla I replaced it with the original photo

Based on the vehicles, my guess is this was shot in the early 1950s. There are two Chevrolet ~1948 cars in the center of the front row. They have an interesting assortment of material handling vehicles.

I see a wooden water tank at right of the crane and a flammable liquid tank at left of the large forklift.

Flickr users, please comment below to correct any of my mistakes.

Some vehicles appear to be 50- and 60-series made by Cushman.

i believe this is a 1969 vehicle, not 1954.

They moved away from this blue and white to all white to make them more visible on the street. Pretty dangerous when they are delivering like this and still in the roadway.

The car in the background is certainly not from 1954.

ddey65 You are right about that. It has to be sixties or later. The snow on it does hinder identifying the model.

Thanks. Now let's tell the Smithsonian Institution that.
