[quote name='photone' post='214308' date='May 16 2008, 16:27 ']Good to know this old warhorse is still in service!
The rig finished it's service in Chesterfield as Unit 127 (Truck 12) but was originally assigned to Station 3 as Unit 37, and was the first Aerialscope to go in service in Chesterfield County. The rig was also the only one in the county (That I recall ) to ever sport twin Mars Lights.
The 75 footer was replaced by a 95 footer sometime in the mid to late 80s, and became a reserve piece for a short period of time. Truck 12's open cab Pirsch was beginning to show it's age in a big way by then, so that rig was taken out of service, and old Three truck was assigned to Station 12 as Unit 127.[/quote]
Rob, you generally have a better recall of CFD information that I do, but I though that when this rig was at FS3, it was replaced by another 75' model, although the second one was a dual axle - the one that's now effectionaly called "Big Nasty" running as the reserve truck from FS9. Thoughts, corrections?
