I did not know Corinth had a place big enough for this truck. Maybe why they sold it.

FireScooby, this truck is still in very good shape and runs its fair share of calls around the county. It also served with Union County EMS SC for a short time after we rolled over one of our units.

Andrew next time you come towards Union County send me a message I can get you in contact with more departments in the county. Thanks for the pics.
