An update on the "Storm" unit at Chicamacomico Banks, as shown about a page back in this post.
It is now running as "Brush 50", and is a 1993 AMC/2011 FD ex- NC Forestry Department. When Station 50 purchased the brush truck from Duck, they took the skid (80/200) and put it on the 1993 AMC. The booster reel has come off the departments 1984 GMC Sierra/Grumman mini pumper (status unknown at this time). Work continues on completing this brush truck.
An arrangement is made with a local business that when a storm is predicted to hit the area, a forklift removes the skid and the AMC is used as a Storm unit. In addtion, the AMC can tow a trailer with extrication equipment if needed.
