This old girl started her life In Chesterfield VA, as one of several pumpers bought in 1979.
Other than being repainted from chrome yellow and a new tank installed, she still looks the same and has a lot of life in her yet!

This ride started out as a ambulance in Prince Edward Rescue Squad. They are using it as an utility but can be used as a ambulance if so needed.

John,
Thanks for the shots of HS. I almost chose HS for school. Had I went there one of the reasons would have been the student run fd. I chose another option but I always kind of wish I had chosen HS.
