terry, are you sure that tiller is for anaheim ca, I live in fullerton just north of anaheim, there city has saulsbury rigs and all 5 of their current trucks are quints, they use them quite extensivly alot as engines. seems odd they would buy a straight tiller with no pump
Pennsylvania Fire/EMS Apparatus - dawson_fire - 04-07-2007
I did not go to Millersville, was there last year. As for the tiller the tag in the windshield said "Anaheim,Ca" so that was my take on it,sorry I don't know more.

Terry,
This is what I have on Blue Ball's Dodge PW:
1976 Dodge Power Wagon 300/Hamerly, mini-pumper, 400/300/15, 4X4, 4000 lb. winch. Originally purchased by Durlach & Mt. Airy Fire Company (Lancaster County), it was sold to Blue Ball Fire Company (Lancaster County) in 1989.

terry,you are correct, i did some checking and anaheim has ordered 4 of those tiller ladders. i guess they are getting away from the quint concept. they also just took delivery of a light/air unit

This is a thread for Pennsylvania rigs that are offbeat, "one-off", small or unusual manufacturer, or rebuilt from their original configuration.
For something new, here is a big tanker with a heavy truck chassis that has not been seen much:

For something older here is a manufacturer that is rarely seen in PA.
Hustontown Area VFD, Fulton Co.
1995 Spartan/General 1500/1000
Any Midwest buffs recognize this?
