Great information, thanks! I was wondering what the small pickup at Station 1 was, but of course I didn't ask, for some reason. I figured it was some sort of utility vehicle. That's probably what I heard leaving the station one day when I was wandering around town. Something left on a call with an Electronic-Q (yuk), and I couldn'f figure out which rig it might be, since Engine 1 and Rescue 1 both have "real" Q sirens.
Any photos of the (former) Stillwater rigs floating around? About the only rig I don't have a picture of (maybe someone out there does) is the old "heavy" brush truck that used to run from 2's. I think it was a mid-70's Ford F-700 on a 4x4 chassis.

The Ford C/Boardman/LTI 75 footer is serving in Chandler, OK, now Rick and is solid red. It never went to Wagoner, OK as I vividly remember when Chandler picked it up.
The Seagraves pumper was refurbed in '84 (IIRC) by Pierce and made a diesel/auto. Last I knew it was at Glencoe, OK VFD out east of Stillwater. Great running and pumping truck too.
The Ford C/Boardman factory photo was one of a handful that were all almost identical with a late 70's/early 80's model serving as Rescue 1 for years prior to the Saulsbury arriving on scene. It's been out at OSU Fire Service Training out west of town for years. We pumped my FF1 class with it years ago.
The State-owned tractor trailer at 1's is the regional Haz-Mat unit.
The light duty Chevy at 1's is designated as Squad 1 and handles Medical duties in 1's district and a big chunk of the rural areas. It is due to be replaced with the current BC's ride (the F-250 pictured) any day now with the BC's receiving a 2012 Ford Expedition.
The large brush at 2's is designated Brush 2 and was fabbed in house by SFD's mechanic over a long period of time in the late 90's.
The Smeal reserve at 2's was actually the ex-Engine 3 and it's virtual twin was at Engine 4 and was a 1989 model.
The ex-Engine 1 E\-One at 3's is in fact a 1000 gallon tank. Yours truly is pictured with it several times in the IFSTA Pumping Apparatus Driver/Operator manual from when I was a Freshman at OSU.
I'm sure I'll think of something else to make note of.
An interesting note that after Larry Mulliken left SFD, the vehicle designations changed. They used to be Pumper's, Ladder's and Rural's. The new chief made them Engine's, Truck's and Brush's.
