Newtown had an aggressive replacement program for there apparatus. The engine had a lot of miles on it due to there paid guys using it, till the Township bought the paid guys there own rig. I believe the truck went south, but I am not sure.
The answer to the question on where the Quantum went is: [color="#000000"]Bardstown (Nelson Co.),KY - this is the same place where their 1988 Pierce Arrow ladder went. Looking for shots of both in there new home.[/color]

These sure were some good rigs. We had a 76 model with the same canopy cab with a gas engine & manual transmission. Tough to drive, but an even tougher piece of equipment.
Does anyone know if Monroe Co.25 in Cumberland County is replacing there mini pumper and brush or are they just down sizing the company? I saw they were both for sale on there website [url="http://www.monroefire.net/"]http://www.monroefire.net/[/url]
