I'm surprised the truck was that good. The village of Dansville hasn't had a great record when it comes to replacing fire equipment, so for them to sell the Young I figured that it had to have been pretty bad.
With you owning the Young, I think the old truck in the fleet now is the Mack. The Mack was bought around '75 and I believe my uncle (my mom's brother) was on the committee that bought that truck.
Sparta Center is a smaller department up on the hill on the northeast side of Dansville. When I was a kid my father's uncle was the Fire Chief up there, and I don't think their oldest piece is anywhere near as old as what Dansville is running. Sparta Center is a whole lot smaller and a whole lot poorer than Dansville, but Dansville has never had fire equipment high on their list of priorities. Dansville is a fairly large village that runs a lot of calls.
Just out of curiosity, how many miles are on the Young??
