I realized this morning that it was an S&S so thanks Andy. Dig????? Nah just the truth which hurts but bad habits are hard to break.

Another of Engine 518-B

My humble opinion: the 1986 Hurricanes Fairfax County operated were well built, rode low to the ground and were almost indestructible. Bigger is not always better and I like the Arrow XTs where the wheelbase is kept to a minimum. A fully-staffed career fire department does not, repeat, does not need to carry every tool known to the fire service when they can be placed on also-responding ladders and rescues.

County Reserve Truck 519. From what I've heard it is generally a despised rig (from both career and volunteers)

[/quote] No Lucky came from Pa just outside of Philly. Doubled the mileage since we got the old gal and what fun to drive if you know how to drive an old Hurricane. Its been out with a blown head gasket but will be hitting the streets again soon.

[/quote] I loved the 87 and 88 EOnes Dale City had. Man what tanks they were but things change and other than ladder racks I good with most of the rigs out there.

I remember looking her over when she first arrived at FS20 and being amazed at how well kept it was over the years. Looked almost brand new!
