Anybody have any information on this rig? - ben_mazanec - 12-11-2015
Hey there firepixers! havent been on here in a while! I need some help Identifying a rig for a friend of mine. The rig is now located at the Jakes Branch FD in Hazard, KY. Apparently it came from Springfield, PA. He wanted to know if it may have been a refurbished St. Louis unit. 1987 KME/LTI. Any infor would be greatly appreciated!

Looks like ex. Springtown (Bucks County, PA) - originally ex. Saint Louis. I had it going to Bulan, KY - is that the same as Jakes Branch ?
Thanks,
Bruce

I've been around. Been working a lot and taking the entry tests for the STLFD. Waiting on my results from the final interview. But other than that i have been running a page on facebook FirstAlarmphotos STL. It's just easier because i can post my pictures without re-sizing then to 200kb. Thinking about getting some pics up here anyways in a few days. just a lot going on.

That would be correct. jakes branch is in Bulan, KY and im guessing hazard is the county? Any info on who did the restoration or which STLFD unit it was originally?
Thanks,

Ben,
I'm thinking Northeast Fire Apparatus did the repainting since that is who Springtown purchased it from. I do not know which St. Louis company it came from - no serial # info - sorry.
