If I remember my "valley history" correctly, this rig was East End Hose Co.'s (Org. in 1950) second pumper and was purchased in the late 1960's / early 1970's when the company was still independent from the Derby Fire Department. When they became part of the city department around 1976, this truck was was replaced by a GMC / Pierce pumper they had until being replaced around 1995 with their current Pierce Dash.
