15 Truck



Does anyone know why they started putting "The Farm" on the front bumpers? My only guess would be because there is a vacant field next to the firehouse on the left that could kind of look like a giant pig pen. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> I noticed both the Truck and Engine now have it.

The quote "The Farm" has been the unofficial title of Truck 15's quarters since the company was organized at that location in the 1930's. The community, (prior to World War 2), was mostly single family residences on large lots, and did include numerous properties where chicken coops and truck gardens were maintained by homeowners to suppliment income during the depression era, thus the name!!!!! <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/3_12_21.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/stirpot.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

They are all auctioned thru liquidation.com , even the wrecked ones. Also, who would want a ten year old vehicle with 300,000 city miles on it?

It was one of two Horton Demos bought from Fesco in 2005. That was assigned to A26 for a while. I think the other one, which had a darker red and no vertical stripe or lightbar was A16. They were also the only red & white ambulances to have blue number decals (BLS) carried over from the old GSA style rigs, as opposed to the gold numbers we use now. They are both in the reserve/special events fleet today.
