After serving Great Falls, it was sold to Greenwood, Virginia, was then sold to Linden, Virginia, to Zion Cross Roads, Virginia, and then to White Plains, Missouri. I am not sure of the disposition of this truck now.

That Herndon Ford brings back fond memories. My grandfather and two of my uncles served as vollies on that rig before the station was turned over to the county. Both uncles went on to become career Fairfax County firefighters.
Speaking of Great Falls, I'll try to find a couple shots taken by me in '05 of their former '55 GMC/American sitting outside my uncle's garage/shop in Herndon. He owns it now and is in the process of restoring it. He found it in Tennessee in service with a VFD in that state.
