This truck, along with the McMinn County rescue truck were behind a locked gate. Thanks to Jay Thomson for posting the specs for the McMinn truck on his website! I was unable to get any info off this truck. But, based on the lettering on the doors, I'm gonna say it came from Clinch Valley, TN. Where it came from before there, I need y'alls help to figure out!

[/quote] Looks like an EX KCFD Kansas City Missouri Fire Department ALF Century Interstate Special. There were six 1983 ALF Centuries delivered under a contract that supplied Dallas, OKC, Fort Worth, Wichita, and KCFD basically the I-35 corridor. KCFD's were white over lime-green however Pumper 8,11,35 were repainted White over Red. There paint always looked funny since the shop did not primer them before painting, they just shot over the lime green. Pumper 8 however was wrecked twice and had a nice paint job by the end. They were all sold in 1997-98. The striping looks like KCFD at the time also the white-red strobes, the light bar looks to be retrofitted on the Aerodynic brackets. KCFD added these super long Aerodynics to five of the six. I can tell one siren speaker is missing. of the three repaints Pumper 35 never had a Q siren added. Pumper 8 and Pumper 11 added Q sirens on their own. Pumper 17,18,32 remained white over lime-green. The three door hing and the non curved jump seat window. Thanks for posting would love to find out more. Thanks again Rick
