(well I have been looking for where this went for 2 years) This rig was Bradley Gardens, Bridgewater Twp Fire District 2, in Somerset County, NJ. Station 21 ran this until 2001-2. It was replaced by an Emergency One shortly after 9-11-01. I forget when it left Bradley Garden's hands. I was hoping to get photos BEFORE it left.... BUT missed it. I will past this on to the members. My Fire Dept is in the Next Town over.

She is still in excellent condition and runs great. Would you like me to e-mail photos? Send me an IM with your e-mail and I will be happy to send them your way. Stay Safe, Rick
