Bellevue/WA operated this 1978 Ford C/Pierce Suburban pumper

Good stuff, Juergen! This rig has a Pierce Minuteman body. The Minuteman was a forerunner to today's rescue pumper. The full-depth compartments limited the tank to 500 gallons, but allowed much more equipment to be carried than in the typical Suburban body. Most Minuteman bodies were built on conventional Ford amd GM chassis but some were Ford C's and even a couple were built on custom chassis.
