I think this rig was sold to the Middle River Volunteer Rescue Squad here in Baltimore County it looks just like the one they had back in the mid to late 90's.

Info on this rig.



1980 Ford LN-8000/Sanford, 4-door cab, custom non walk-in rescue, 3208 Cat diesel, automatic, 2x12.5 KW Onan generators, 18000 watt light tower, and a 4 bottle 6000psi cascade. It was purchased used in 1988 from the Lower Southampton Fire Company (Bucks County). In 2003 had D.G. March & Associates of Pottstown install a 25KW pto generator, removing the old generators. The rear leaf springs where replaced in 2004, and the motor blew in 2005. Replaced in late 2006 and permanently placed out of service due to poor condition and unsafe to be on the road. Finally sold in early 2008 to Abel’s towing of Malvern who took the body off of it and scrapped it, hope to use the chassis as a tow truck.

A green Scotchlight body stripe was added in 1992. It was suppose to go out for refurb in 1996 but the bids came back over the $50,000 which was allocated for it. It was sent out to a local body shop in January of 1998 for some cosmetic body work to repair some doors and compartments. Replaced in 2000, did not sell until 5/01 to Wynne Fire & Rescue Equipment, Greenville, TN who sold it to a fire company in NC.

Info on this rig.



1975 Hendrickson 1871S/Pierce/LTI, canopy cab, 1250 GPM, 85 ft steel rear-mount ladder-tower. It was purchased used in 1990 from Northeast Fire Apparatus for $177,000. It was sent to LTI who took the ladder off and fabricated a new ladder turntable. During one of the first training sessions it was out on, the ladder was extended and got stuck. It had to be manually cranked down. In 11/98, while on a training exercise on the old Pennhurst State School and Hospital, the truck tipped over when the outrigger was deployed over an old steam viaduct which they did not know about. While the ladder was being extended, the culvert collapsed, and the trucked tipped over with the ladder coming to rest on a building. The ladder and rigger were damaged. Repaired and placed back into service prior to 6/1/99. Housed 9/30/2000. Taken OOS in 2006. Donated in 1/07 to the Western Center for Technical Studies which is located on Gratersford Road in Limerick Twp (Montgomery County). The Pottsgrove, Spring-Ford, and Upper Perkiomen school districts send students there. I guess they never took it because on 12/15/08 they either donated it or sold it to Queen City (Schuyler County, MO).
