Need help on this one. Obviously, it's a Ford C/Hahn, but does anyone have anything else on it? I have it as X-Eng 2 from West Wyomissing FC, Spring Twp, Berks Co, PA.

Ford C Boardman with 35ft Tele-Squirt Hermann, MO Vol Fire Company purchased used. I believe came from Weatherford, OK Fire Department. No worries Hermann runs RED fire units. Just did not have the money for a repaint.

The trucks with the 55" or so wheelbase just crack me up. Do we have a thread for oddball stuff like that? I've forgotten..
See a lot of "was" and "ex" in this thread too. Here's one that still "is": Redwood Meadows Emergency Services 50 Tank 500/2500 1986 Ford C8000 w/Cat 3208 Diesel/Auto (ex-City of Calgary garbage truck; tank is ex-Imperial Oil home oil heating tanker) Put together by Superior Fire Apparatus (Canadian arm of E\-One) including fire compartment space etc. This truck has crosslays enabling it to act in the capacity of fire attack, which it has more than once. It is a royal pig when fully loaded, and is very very near the max weight limit (helps if the crew hasn't eaten lunch before hitting the scale). Pump is PTO driven, enabling pump & run capabilities - not used very often. Rear side showing retrofitted (~2-3 years ago, ~10 years into having the truck) 10" Newton Qwik-Dump valve.. And what the heck, an "ex" as well... ex-Alberta Fire Training School (aka fire etc.) 23-03, Vermilion, AB ex-Syncrude Oil Refinery/Operations Truck 2 "Foam Boss", Fort McMurray, AB 840?/500/55' Squrt 19?? Ford C8000 w/gas/manual This truck had a steel fire body of unknown make, welded to the frame. We torched/sawed it off in order to get at the Squrt, which we took for our own truck (a 1976 Hendrickson which was coming to us without its native Squrt which was being kept by Calgary FD). Cab and chassis, with pump, ended up being sold off to parties unknown to me. While at the fire school, the Squrt was either smashed against something or subjected to a brutal case of water hammer, as it had a massive leak at the base of the waterway (that wasn't leaking when we first saw it at the school). Repaired by our own department staff.
