Ford C Series Chassis Fire Apparatus

[Roto-Ray]

I posted this in another thread several years ago, but thought I would re-post it here:











While shooting rigs at the Clinch Mountain VFD in Hayter's Gap (Washington County), VA, they said that one of their old rigs was down the road in a farmer's field. We found it and got these shots. The farmer, who had some sort of a connection to the FD, indicated that he thought that this rig was ex-Baltimore. After looking at it, I was thinking perhaps BCoFD?



These nearly-head-on shots are all I could get due to how the fences were laid out.



Engine 171 1963 (?) Ford C/American 750/? (r/w, canopy cab, suspected ex Baltimore Co FD, possibly refurbed by Central Fire Apparatus of East Tennessee, removed from CMVFD service in 2005, sold to local farmer, shot in 2009 sitting at his farm mostly in pieces, American #2549-6-63)
