chief's travels

[firechief14]

Here is Mt. Morris tower 5759 which came used from out in new york. This is a gorgeous truck according to chief Rob Hough IV the truck was in for repainting approximately 2 weeks longer because they had to completely sand off all of the wax this truck had wax in the wheel wells and the paint would not stick. This truck is in prestige condition and is a beauty.

Here is Mt. Morris brush truck 5765 which soon will be replaced with a skid unit with compartments per the chief he decided that he wants to be able to run it as a brush and a vehicle that can be versatile.

The city of Rockford has finally figured out that keeping crappy apparatus and buying used apparatus is not the thing to do with a busy department so they started a lease program through Pierce the sad thing is quint 1 was just delivered replacing the last of the TDA's in Rockford those photos soon to come
