Very nice collection of photos. thanks for sharing. My brother drove Squad 14 (GMC engine-forward, dd 6V-53 engine). Told me it could barely keep up with the wagon. Fairfax's Seagrave foam unit was one of my all-time favorite rigs. I wish more like it were made. Nice photo of Truck 8 the '66 Seagrave in the later paint scheme.

I am at work so I can't see the pictures but I have seen pictures of the GMC conventional squad truck from Fair Oaks, it reminds me a truck I saw in a book from the Navy-Vale Fire Department. I always thought that was the coolest looking little squad truck, when I got old enough to drive I never figured out where the Navy-Vale Fire Department was and I imagine thier piece is long gone by now.
