someone from 20 told me that about a month ago, now that a certain someone is off of the fire commission but i have yet to see anything move or change. i was at amd before thanksgiving and the old squad 27 (HME) was there and they were waiting to replace some things before it went back in service, im assuming more likely thats going to 8 but the countys done strange things before. 8s squad is falling apart, parts fall off all the time, cracks in the body and frame all over it, compartment doors fly open going down the road because of the body movement, over 200k miles on it, but somehow the county found that 20s needed to be replaced before it.. who knows
There ya go, I knew it had american and general in the name somewhere! <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/doh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
Morningside ran this 1963 G.M.C. L7OOO with bodywork by Bruco. The unit had a 1OOO gpm pump and only 3OO gallons of water. This beauty pumper was scrapped around 1992.

It is Engine 301 a 1971 Mack CF 1250 gpm rating downed to 1000 gpm with a 300 gallon water tank a twin to this unit delivered in 1972 was Engine 302.

A large part of my collection was purchased from a GOOD man, John Floyd. I give him FULL credit on his work, although I may miss something. Thanks John. Also Scott Mattson, Warren Jenkins, Michael Schwartzberg, and Mike Sanders. Thanks Guys.
