Oceanside NY would be a good assumption. That looks like a Cortez parked along side of it and the neighboring Baldwin FD ran a Cortez as a rescue. Both departments are also in the same county battalion. Very unique rig to say the least.

yes that is Oceanside NY, it is parked in the lot at the nassau county Fire Academy for a county wide apparatus show, in the late 1970's - early 1980's. The Cortez parked next to it is Seaford's. I have a picture of it there. it was Seaford Rescue 2 (unit 685) from 1970 to 1982 when it was replaced after too many maintance problems started to happen. A few Nassau County Dept's ran Cortez as Rescue's/Ambulances for a few years
