Milton, I shot one of these rigs down in PA at the '09 state parade - go to my website (www.unyquefiretrucks.com) & you will see it in the collage on the homepage. Click the pic & it will link you to the unit's page where I have some more detailed specs on this rig. Hope this helps. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/fireman.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Fireman' />

Montowese Company 2 in North Haven owns this former New Haven 1963 Seagrave 70th anniversary rig. Most, if not all the equipment carried on this truck is typical of the technology of the day when this truck was delivered. Following World War 2, North Haven began purchasing white apparatus, switching over to lime-yellow/white combination in the mid 1980's, and is the only department in the Greater New Haven area to run this color-scheme.
