Spotted this Seagrave TDA sitt9ing in a fenced lot just off of Military Highway, near US 17.
From what I was told, It was an emergency purchase to replace an older rig that was out of service due to fatal mechanical issues, and was replaced by the Quantum that's now Truck 12.

Rob and John,
Bought new for Richmond Truck 6. When the first Quint came in, HME-Ferarra-LTI, which was assigned to the 14's. The Seagrave Truck was relocated to Truck 9 and the 1982 Maxim went into reserve at the 23's.
This truck was sold to Chesapeake FD.
Former Truck's 2 and 5 that were bought by the DCFD.
Former RFD Truck-2, eventually found its way over to Leesburg, VA. Unknown where old Truck 5 went from DCFD.
Former Truck 7 was bought by Bedford, VA FD and later sold to the Cornelius, NC Fire Dept.
