This was the highlight of the stop at Midtown. This engine still runs, they're just working on some repairs to the pump before it re-enters service as the 2nd out engine!
Midtown, TN "110?"
1966 IHC CO-8190/Hahn (one of three made that year from their understanding)
750/500
S/N # FD-106683
I have two sets of records on where this one formerly served. My records from somewhere show that it formerly served Briarcliff Manor, NY and Archville, NY.
Their memories of the truck is that it served Scarboro, NY. The engine was formerly all white, with "SCARBORO" across the front of the cab. The chief of Midtown VFD's last name was Scarborough and he didn't want the fire truck running around with his last name (albeit spelled differently) on the front of it. So they painted a red stripe through the middle of the cab to block out SCARBORO.
Any help would be appreciated!
