Quote:East Tawas,Michigan runs this Pierce Lance 75' quint.

Toneslider can confirm this, but, with the exception of the warning lights over the crew doors, this looks to be Castle Rock, Colorado's circa 1992 75' quint.

Quote:Here's the pump panel in the cab facing forward.They think it is the only one Pierce has done this way so comment are welcome.

The only comment I have on them is since they have all those beautiful trucks why dont they spend a little money and put a cement or paved pad infront of their station to drive out on instead of the grass?

Their station burned down several months ago and they are using a pole building until the station is rebuilt.

Ex-US NAVY?  Quantico maybe???

Hmmm, maybe Army? Fort Monmouth had a similiar unit, I believe Engine 3? The blue in the scotchlite stripe seems to point that direction.

This Tele Squrt was one of the 18 Pierce Arrow's purchased by the Marine Corps between 1987 and 1988. Most all of them were rebuilt between 2000 and 2004 with four door cabs, some with air conditioning and upgrades in the warning lights. If anyone has the Pierce serial number or USMC property number I should be able to track its original base assignment.

Sorry I don't collect info as much as I used to but I thought they said it was from around the great lakes region.

The Tele-squrt from Paris Island USMC Recruit Training Center in South Carolina had the same blue stripe in the middle of the white stripe, this may be where it came from.

On the other hand it only took one trip to find this 2014 Kenworth/4-Guys 1500/3500 tanker.

Here's a shot of the pump and compartment.The pipe going up and around is a drying system which I thought was neat.

West Hempfield's old Mack R Tanker was purchased by Chester County PA Station 25 - Longwood.

Cumbeland,Md runs this Sutphen tower. Spends alot of time facing west by the  looks of the faded paint on the front of the cab...

West Hempfield received the rescue on January 15, 2009.  So it is either a 2008 or 2009.
