Around the time in 1998 that the Seagrave trucks were being delivered, the Department – amid budget woes, maintenance workload, and desperate for trucks – bought two used Seagrave trucks from Richmond, VA. The trucks were identical 1988 and 1989 model tillers. The idea was to add two reserve trucks to the fleet, but they never had a chance to float around. The trucks were given to Truck Companies 5 and 7 and remained with those units until replaced by new apparatus later that year. c1998 photo at the Training Academy
