Today, I ventured back down to Gilmer County, GA Fire-Rescue where I found an old engine in the bay that I hadn't seen before. Turns out it had just come back from a refurb. job. It's a 1976 American LaFrance Century 1500/500 pumper. It had no GSO#'s that I could easily locate but the dude I talked to thought it was original to Gilmer County.

Mark,
It's not original to Gilmer. Gilmer actually only had 2 Class A engines up until a few years ago and they were both commercial cabs. Before that they used "fire knockers" from GA Forestry.
