Last but not least, probably the most famous Stillwater rig is this one:



Stillwater Ladder 2

1976 Ford C/Boardman/LTI 750/200/75'

This rig served until 1996 when the Pierce Lance came online. I'm not sure when it was disposed of.

I have heard the same about the Ambulance Service. It is always nice when the fire department can have control of both services fire and ambulance. I agree it makes for better service, more streamlined, and less red-tape in most instances.



There is a unique story behind the Ford/Wilson pumper and how Stillwater acquired it. Wilson I believe was a local builder in Arkansas.



The Ford-C/Boardman/LTI suffered a cab crushing injury from the Aerial Ladder if I remember right. It did some damage but not super severe however it took one of the red lights off.



Thanks for posting the Seagrave pumper. It reminds me of Lawrence, KS three solid RED 1967ish Seagrave's they were very similar.



Stay Safe,
