Finally for today, Engine 31 in Wethersfield was this unique 1989 Sutphen with Ranger bodywork. It is equipped with a 1500 gpm-pump and carries 550 gallons of water and 150 gallons of foam. Note the unusual location of the foam-tank with the front-turret. Mark A.Redman photo - Juergen Kiefer collection.
Guys, anyone from the northwest secition of CT? I'm possibly buying a truck that was apparently a brush truck in that end of the world. I was told Norfolk. Its a 1986 Dodge W350 dually, red, 4 speed stick. BEAST of a rig. Just curious if i could find a photo when it was in service. Just for Gits and Shiggles <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

They had a Dodge weapons carrier at one point that I've posted a snapshot of a while back. It was certainly a lot older than 1986 though, 68? If so I'll thumb wrestle you for it! Updated info - http://norfolkfire.org/ has the Dodge WC as a 1953, but they also call it a Jeep (pretty sure it is a Dodge). They also list a 1953 Dodge pumper and the only thing listed in the previous apparatus from the 1980's is a tanker.

In the 80ies and 90ies, Ranger Fire Apparatus built some unique and oddball combinations. Engine 5 in Torrington was a 1986 KME Renegade with Ranger bodywork, 1250 gpm/ 1000 water. Mark A.Redman photo - Juergen Kiefer collection. [/quote] I believe Engine 4 replace this or the sister truck to this one.
