Does Cohanzie still keep their apparatus in such mint condition, immaculate and almost sterilized like they did back in the 1980's? I will never forget the engines from Cohanzie and the other Waterford companies Goshen and Oswegatchie at the parades in Unionville CT and Hershey PA 1982-83-84 and 1984-1986-1987-1988 respectively.

Each dept is a little different down there, but there is still chop busting that goes back to when the would take the rigs out service to prep them for a parde. Politically/public perception wise don't think that would fly too much anymore, maybe a utility piece or the like. At the convention I overheard someone ask the crew of a nearly pristine ambulance if it was an in service and one of the crew said it had been on a call just one night prior. With enough time and dedication it is amazing what can be accomplished!
