The person who built the list and maintainrd it...passed away.

Found this unique rescue today in Starr,NC which is in Montgomery County. From what I've found this truck was owned was first owned by a local welding company. From there, it served the defunct Emergency Medical Rescue unit, which was a spin off from another long-gone agency called the East Montgomery Ambulance Service.  Very neat little rig I thought.

 

In NC, most of the fire departments and rescue squads were separate entities but are slowly merging due to decreased volunteers and local governments realizing the FD can take over extrication rather than giving money to one more agency.

Not sure if this belongs here, or in the "Empire State Oldies" thread, but here goes. Pawling Fire Department of Pawling, NY has re-aquired their 1956 Chevy/??? engine for a possible restoration.   It was removed from service sometime in the late 1970's  and was just recently rescued from a field in Sharon, CT.  I searched high and low for any type of ID tags on the cab and the body, and only found the Chevrolet serial number in the drivers door frame, and a pump serial number on a plate loose in the glove box. The doors on the body open and lift up, and then can be rolled into the compartment.  I estimate the pump at 250 gpm, with a 500 gallon tank.  It is equipped with the Loadmaster V8, and is fairly intact.

 

 

Anyone have any ideas on the make?

Body work looks like it could be a Young...

Certainly what I would call "rough but restorable", and even more certainly a worthwhile and morale-building project for the department. Good for them, and I'm sure we all wish them luck with the restoration. Hope to see both in-progress and finished photos.

That rig has been there since January (The shop is on Seminole Boulevard, just north of Ulmerton, right?). It's less than a mile from our Florida condo, we passed it several times back then. The left front wheel was off of it for weeks.
