And, if it is that truck, it has an 82' aerial, truncated to fit in the very short house. When I visited their station many years ago, the back wall was completely dented in because they had to touch the back wall with the tip of the aerial to close the bay door. Same truck?[/quote]
Here's the 1940 Pirsch aerial in its original form, in front of the aforementioned firehouse. I have not heard that story before, but I never saw the truck myself...
