And finally the parade truck.  This is an original Tipton truck which was retired and sold to a department in Illinois, who eventually sold it back to Tipton.  It currently has brake issues.

That's too bad, but unfortunately, Lime/Yellow is almost a thing of the of the past anymore. Very few departments switch to it, and more and more are going away from it.

 

Great shots, thanks for sharing.

An update to my Mount Vernon, IA posts.  Mount Vernon has purchased a new tanker, 210.  Shown here in a recent parade.

Medic 631.  This rig is used by First Responders but doesn't transport patients.  Atkins is served by Area Ambulance out of Cedar Rapids.
