identifying antique car

I'm doing some scanning work at my local Historical Society and came
across the following un-dated picture. I'm posting a link, not including
it in the post :-)

The picture is taken outside the firestation on the grounds of the
firestation. There isn't much to be seen of the car itself and I'm
trying to contact the right people at the DMV or state historical
to help me track down the license plate.

The vehicle is thought to be the first gas powered fire truck in town,
but we can't be sure. I'm hoping someone may recognize something on the
vehicle to help us track down what it is, or even what year!

The logo on the grille, when enlarged, appears to be in cursive, going
up from left to right. It looks like it starts with a "B" and ends with
either a "k" (Buick perhaps?) or a "t". I do not see a bell in the
photo though.

Please post or email me with any questions, suggestions or for a link
to a bigger photo if needed.

Thanks
