That was a surprise! It's actually a 1984 Ford C/Pirsch 1000/250/75' midship aerial, a bad apt. building fire last year in which the closest aerial units were at least a half-hr. away seems to have been the deciding factor. Romney has completely changed their fleet in the 14 years since my 1st visit there in 1995. The new Sutphen tower for New Creek, WV., will become their closest mutual-aid aerial rig (approx. 20 miles) also.
