They went out of business in the late 1980's. Palm Beach County had several of their refurbs and 5 squad trucks built on F350 chassis. Never really was much of an operation to begin with.

Difficult to say for certain. Pinellas Park had two of them.

Thanks, do you remember the short lived "Fire Wolf" company? I believe they built an handful of rigs.

Think it's different...the Roll-ups on one have two handles/door while the other has only one handle/door.

I've compared photos of both rigs that Pinellas Park had, and it looks as though the rig with the single door latches was assigned as Engine 34, then Pumper 36(spare). The rig with the double door latches was assigned to Engine 36 and then to Engine 35 when 36 recieved their Spartan/Luverne. Both have long ago been scrapped as far as I know. The City of Seminole has disposed of all three of their's as well. Here is a photo of one of Seminole's three 1988 Pemfab/Gators, seen here running as Engine 31.

Dan, it's Tampasbravest.com. It's been updated several times. Several good photos of some of the old Ladder Co. apparatus, particularly the old Snorkel which was S1, then S4.

A bunch of the Gator's ended up here in PA. One of the Seminole units is still currently running at Sandy Lake FC in Mercer County, Pa. Another Seminole unit was in service in Milbourne, PA until last year when they got their new engine. They then sold it to another department out in the mid-west.
