Last one from the Lancaster display, although there were a few more. Here is Pleasant Valley Ladder 1441. 2008 Ferrera 107' HD Ladder. The only thing I dont like at these events is the ladder is always up, and you can never get a decent picture.

This is an Ex-Bonham FD tanker. I think the Chev. Pumper came from Monarch but i'm not sure on that one.

So THAT'S where this truck went to!!!! I wondered which FD in Union County got this. This truck formerly served Leicester, NC as "Squad 18" at their Sandy Mush Substation. It last served as "Brush 18-2", and was replaced a few years ago with a Ford F-550/Anchor Richey EVS brush truck. One of their captains told me last year that it was sold to a department in Union, SC. I'll definitely have to go visit this FD sometime!



Also, that tanker is a Ford "N" model, nice find!! I've only managed to shoot one Ford N over at Reynolds FD in Asheville, NC. I wish I'd known about that apparatus display, that would have been worth the drive!

My mistake, i knew it was 601. I need to pay more attention. Also I got the year wrong the Kelly kelton American LaFrance. it is a 1962. I was posting from work, and trying to "remember" and didnt have my notes with me. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> Daggone oldtimers !

Also when the salesperson delivered the 2005 Pierce he backed into the side of the station busting one of the lights on the rear.
