Tower 21 is a 2003 E\-One 2000/300/30A 95' MM SN#125131



The department is adding a nearly identical tower to the fleet in 2007. The only change will be a raised roof.





That's all for now. I hope that you enjoyed them.

[quote name='photobuff6162' post='40021' date='Oct 4 2006, 18:39 ']This rescue was built by a company that I had never heard before. The irony is that before the day was over, we would photograph another one from the same builder.



R-1 1994 International 4800 4WD/RSQ Specialty Vehicles. Possible SN#94051



RSQ vehicles is lifeline emregency vehicles in sumner iowa, they no longer do rescue rigs they only produce ambulances. the old facility is now the lifeline remount facility where they remount ambulances. in talking with the older staff there they loved making the rescue bodies and miss doing them. the company shifted towards ambulances and left the rescue body business behind. they had made some really cool trucks for different customers like the shell refinery in texas on a huge peterbuilt chassis that could double as an ambulance capable of carrying multiple patients. they also made small rescue bodies on f series ford chassis and such for sheriifs dept's. i will see if i can get more information on this truck from some connections i have at lifeline.[/quote]

The above two pics are excellent photos, however the graphics on the apparatus are HORRIFIC! It reminds me of a cartoon gone bad!


Minnesota Apparatus - Guest - 10-30-2006

The cover is a winter cover. I have to remember to photgraph the rigs without graphics, because I wouldn't want Ronnie to not be able to see the beauty of the truck.........


Minnesota Apparatus - Guest - 10-30-2006

I am having second thoughts about posting this picture. Maybe the Graphic Police can help me with the graphics on this. Are they OK?
