[quote name='firstduephotos' post='57142' date='Dec 8 2006, 10:06 ']I see what appears to be some radiant heat damage on the driver's side of this piece. Anyone have the story behind the story? One of the mill/factory fires up that way perhaps??[/quote]

The lead photo shows this truck "taking the heat" at this blaze and the story states the hose supplying the ladder pipe burned away, and all the FFs with the truck received burns. That would account for the damage if the photo was taken after that date.
