Their still is a fire engine at crownsville as of a year ago. A friend of mind sent me a rather lousy cell phone pic of it through one of the bay windows. Guess I might have to go figure out what it is and where it is.

I found this truck two weeks ago in Denver, NC sitting on Highway 16.



Roseboro FD

Chevrolet 427 / Howe

[Roto-Ray]

While shooting rigs at the Clinch Mountain VFD in Hayter's Gap (Washington County), VA, they said that one of their old rigs was down the road in a farmer's field. We found it and got these shots. The farmer, who had some sort of a connection to the FD, indicated that he thought that this rig was ex-Baltimore. After looking at it, I was thinking perhaps BCoFD?



These nearly-head-on shots are all I could get due to how the fences were laid out.



Engine 171 1963 (?) Ford C/American 750/? (r/w, canopy cab, suspected ex Baltimore Co FD, possibly refurbed by Central Fire Apparatus of East Tennessee, removed from CMVFD service in 2005, sold to local farmer, shot in 2009 sitting at his farm mostly in pieces, American #2549-6-63)

It is for sure wasn't a paid engine. A few volunteer companies had Ford C's, so there is always a maybe that it came from there. I checked my archives and couldn't find anything close to that, but again who knows.

That is definatly a Oshkosh/Pierce, We just got rid of our 1969 same thing except ours was a '75 and had a pump. Looks in great shape. I would imagine it has had a paint touch up, they tend to rust a bit.

Hey, this looks to be Bangor's former rig. If it is, it's a 1977 Pierce/Oshkosh/85' Snorkel.

I'm not so sure. I looked at my old AACO pics, AACO E-73 had the smooth side to the cab,as seen in the picture I have attached. This is a picture of AACO E-73 prior to rehab, where it did recieve a white over red paint job, but retained the smooth side cab.

Definitely not the same rigs. One has 5-spoke wheels, one has Budd wheels. Canopy extensions are different, so are the marker lights on the roof, chrome front fenders on only one of them. I haven't had a chance to dig into my American stuff, give me a few days.

Based on the delivery list I have, neither of those FD's was the original owner. If you had gotten the production number (T-???), I could have given you that info. It appears to have a 750 GPM pump. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/shrug.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

In service photo from the "Berkshire SPAAMFAA Collection" which I've found out were likely taken by John Amuso who might have been a Pittsfield, MA Firefighter at one time. Hey, Eric was this at Village Truck Sales and was Rye, NY's tiller still there?

Ed it was just south of Village Truck Sales, in a lot that I believe is not associated with them. As for Rye, NY's tiller, it was not in the main lot of Village Truck Sales or the immediate lots near it. Do they have another one north of the main lot?

Cool rig Andrew. Looks like someone took the Q off before getting rid of it.
