Not E-10, that was never a 2 man unit. By the time these units got down to Sta.10 in 1988, there wasn't anybody riding tailboards anymore. It is either Squad 10 (the replacement for Rescue 10, first due EMS and stills in 10's area) or Pumper 10 (water supply unit).

Behind the drivers door it says Pumper 10. If I remember correctly from the Rural/Metro post that was put together a couple of years ago by David Greenberg and you contributed your knowledge to Squad 10 had a White Roof. Again I could be wrong (wouldn't be the first time in my life)
Here is East Bloomfield's 1968 Ford / John Bean pumper. This truck was in service until 1997, then sold to Potter, NY. According to cny fire apparatus website, the truck was last seen as an Agway truck.

Yes, this one qualifies as a "sad end".

Yes it is. This is the truck that I learned on, and operated for 10 years before it went to Potter. Back in her heydey, she was a true workhorse. In the days when people are ordering truck with foam, this truck had foam on it back in 1968. Ironically the building she was parked in front of was torn down last year, and we're supposed to move into the new building next week. Where you see the door behind this truck will be where the meeting room is going to be.
I ran across this rig the other day at a used car/truck lot in downtown Glendale, AZ.
No idea about who did the body or what year it is, but it's a pretty simple Ford C tanker labelled for the Ponderosa Fire Dept., which is located in Bellemont, AZ, along I-40 just west of Flagstaff. I didn't want to trespass (nobody was around on a Sunday) so I didn't walk around it.
A few weeks ago Ed Freen and I went out to do some shooting and ran across a rather historic piece of apparatus. This Ford C Pierce Tanker, 1000/2000 started life as Ocean City, Maryland's Truck 711, a 1965 Ford C 950/American/Pitman, 1000/200/85ft. In 1983 the Snorkle was removed and placed onto the current Pierce Arrow chassis, then Pierce rehabbed the Ford C into this tanker that Allen purchased. It is now sitting on the side of the road in Princess Anne, Maryland.

Allen replaced it with a LARGE KME Engine/Tanker a few yrs ago, it was for sale for some time.
Ford/Pierce labelled for "Burkettsville" currently in Bedford Hills, NY in a lot used by a group to send retired fire apparatus to South and Central America. Unsure of year, capabilities, or original owner. Unit has number 741 on the side, and a top mount pump
