[quote name='fsw1970' post='63589' date='Jan 1 2007, 11:04 ']The story I was always told, was that the blue WLF and Excelsior's 81 ALF tiller were involved in a wreck together in the late 80's and that's why they were both refurbed by RD Murray. I could be wrong, but that is the story I was told be FF's in Freeport.[/quote]
Correct... they were involved in a collision together (Merrick Road and Guy Lombardo Avenue while responding to a reported building fire on Miller Avenue) and I can't recall if it was after that accident that the pumper was refurbished and painted blue or if it just had collision repairs done, was repainted blue and then, at a later date, was refurbished completely. That's the distinction I was trying to make.
