x-Engine 8-1, Bowling Green, MD
1968 American LaFrance Pioneer I

Actually, this rig has been retired for almost 10 years, the quint replaced a 81 Hendrickson/Pirsch, and a 1992 IH N/Frontline squad.
The body of Bloomington's mini is a 1977 originally on a 2-door Chevy K-30.
Sad to see the old Pioneer like that, it saw a lot of fire during its almost 30 years in service.
Here's a pic of it at a fire scene in 1991.
BTW, nice pics of Bowling Green and Bloomington, it's not easy up there to coincide sun and available drivers!
