Relics - Andrew2340 - 11-03-2008
That's it from the Kentucky area trip, here's a few Mark Carr and I found in Georgia a week or two ago. This Seagrave engine formerly served Clayton County, GA as "Engine 2." According to info off the plates of the truck, its a 1977 Seagrave PB25068 with a 1500 gpm pump and 500gal of water. It carries Seagrave S/N # H-73656. However, upon checking Bill F's database, he shows this truck as a 1980 Seagrave PB25068 1500/500. Can anyone clarify?

This truck formerly served Forsyth County, GA as "Rescue 15." It's a 1988 Ford F-350 with an unknown body. It was sitting in the County Auction Lot awaiting disposal. Can anyone provide any more info?

Here's another truck awaiting disposal in the Forsyth County Auction lot. It's a 1991 E\-One Protector that formerly served Forsyth Co, GA as "Engine 3." It's got a 1250 gpm pump and 750gal of water. It carries E\-One SO # 8902.

And here's the final truck in the Forsyth County Auction lot. It formerly served Forsyth Co, GA as "Engine 10." It's a 1996 Sutphen Deluge with a Clay Fire Apparatus body. It has a 1250gpm rear-mounted pump and 750gal of water. It carries Sutphen S/N # HS-3113 and Clay S/N # 96B0347. Not sure what went wrong with this truck to put such a young rig in the disposal lot. The consecutive serial # to this truck (S/N # HS-3114) still serves Forsyth Co as "Engine 13."

This truck was somewhat of an unexpected find. Earlier this year, Mark and I shot the fleet of the Hiawassee Dam Fire Dept. (remember the 1000 Flushes Toilet-Bowl blue IHC 4400/Crimson engine??) and the young man that posed the rigs for us mentioned one of their old engines was donated to the Tri-County Community College in Cherokee County, NC. On the way home from GA the other day, I happened to pass through the area, so I had to investigate. I was pleased to find a 1970 Ford C/American LaFrance engine lettered as "2051" from Hiawassee Dam, NC. However, what excited me more was the lettering that was underneath Hiawassee Dam. After a few minutes, I was able to read "Mills River Vol. Fire Dept." on the door and "Unit 52" in the badge below the B-Post of the truck! Mills River, NC is in Henderson County, less than an hour from my town! I never knew Mills River ever had this truck! The truck had a 1000 gpm pump and 1000gal of water. It carries ALF Reg. # 2-1-1944. I love finding old trucks from my area!

This was my last find of the day. Though lettered for Warne Fire Dept, I found it sitting in a field behind the Brasstown Fire Dept. It's a 1979 Ford F700/Local tanker with a 1000 or 1200 gal tank. Not really sure why it was hanging out behind Brasstown's fire station, but judging by its condition, I'd say it hadn't been there too long.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess (due to the bodywork and identical mods) it might be an American Eagle Fire Apparatus from Florida. The company I used to run with in northern Rhode Island ran a truck that would, aside from a few details, pass as this trucks twin.

These next two were found in NH in 1980. They are relics, but at the time they didn't appear to be in the "sad end" state. I wonder where they are today?
Seagrave MMA.

I think she was at one time. Didn't see anything but what I was able to shoot.

I believe this is from Randolph, MA. They had a 1937 Seagrave and that looks like their door patch from the 1950's, when that piece was last in service.

Hang on sportsfans, we have a mutant, if you look closely the tall compartment is common to Seagrave Tillers, but apparently Joe Redneck found a way to cut away the trailer with the turntable still mounted to the fifth wheel.
Talk about short jacking a ladder......more tipsy than Senatah Tedwahd Kenneday...er-ah. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hysterical.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
