1974 Ford L/Allied 250/1,700

Ford 534 Gas Motor/5 Speed Transmission

I used to live at the top of the hill from this department, the highlight of my night was if Rural Security got a tanker call heading up the hill.. I would stand in my backyard and watch this piece scream up the hill at about 2 mph. Of course I was 7 years old or so and later on in life when it was me driving the screaming tanker (though not this one) up the hill it wasn't so fascinating anymore LOL. It was replaced in the 2000's with a Seagrave tanker from Chestnut Ridge Fire Department of Baltimore County, MD
