Nice pix from the past, Louvires Eng's 122 & 123 were the ugliest rigs on the front range!

This rig went on to serve the Tri-Community FD in Collegedale, TN for many years. The pump and tank were removed. As far as I know, it is still in service with some FD to the east of Chattanooga, I just don't recall which one.

I was in the neighborhood of the DFD shoops the other day and captured this interesting sight... Perhaps the equivalent of a car on blocks? Be careful where you leave your Ladder parked ;-) Kinda sad to see this old rig torn appart, I think this was the old Truck 8 but 12 & 15 ran sister rigs.
