This was this rigs SECOND life...it was built by Peirreville Fire Trucks with a one off r/m ladder platform that didn't work out.
I have been told this rig was sent overseas to have this Bronto unit installed and shipped back to Mississauga. Long gone now...
Before I really got into buffing so it is what I was told...

I had to look twice at this one. Albany, N.Y. had a snorkel of this vintage that also had A.F.D. on the door and a similar Cincinnatti cab. It was a Young, rather than a Pirsch, but it was certainly close.
