[quote name='firelaw757' post='316980' date='Jun 26 2009, 14:27 ']The bent bumper came from an accident on Walkers Brook Drive and New Crossing Rd. The ladder had a green light going to 128 for an accident and a kid coming out of New Crossing ran the light. When I got there I asked him if he was ok and he said I $hit my pants. So I said you are ok that you are walking away from it, and he said again no i really $hit my pants. When his dad came to get him, my suggestion was to take him to church and say a prayer he is alive.[/quote]
Don't forget Wal-Mart for some new undewear too!!!!!! WOW! That kid is lucky!

Good luck to you and your department with the new ladder. I dont miss seeing that truck driving the streets of Reading one bit.[/quote]

Now that a cadillac has replaced this jalopy, I cant really miss seeing it riding around town now can I?
And while it did its intended job since 1991, it started developing A LOT of issues in its last few years of service. Those issues, which I wont mention, cost the town several thousand dollars to repair. Essentially it was like taking $100 bills and crumpling them up in your hand, throwing them in the toilet and flushing it. I know this is nothing that doesnt happen in other communities on a daily babsis too, but it was time to take the old dog out behind the shed and pull the trigger.
Besides, the Seagrave is so sharp and well built that I can hardly remember what the E\-One looked like!!!
C5, Ill leave any further comment on the truck to you should you really want to share your opinion. You and I share the same view but its not my place to comment any further.
Quote:Is this a remount or a totally new truck? Ludlow had a similar rig on a Ford F series chassis. Just curious.
Looking at a photo of the 1973 Ford F-500/Ansul that Ludlow had, I'd say it was a remount or a duplicate recreation of the original body. The original carried 2700 pounds of Purple K.
Came across this rig in the ramp od Salem HQ one around to pose it but here is E2 former E4 the a996 Pierce back from having bodywrok down and renumbered
