May I say, WOW!!!!! Not only is the rig a relic, the fire company is no more. Marion's fire station has been "restored" outside, and from my info it closed in the 1970's. I happened across the station by accident while EMS12 was driving, and I looked way back. It is tucked in beside the "opera house" I think. My info about this rig says it is a 1970 Chevrolet X-Palmer Municipal. I have nothing more about it.

My company (First West Chester FC) had a 1965 Dodge/National Foam brush truck. Anybody on line have a good photo of it? We have very few.

During the most recent Westmoreland Co. tour with EMS12, this was 1 we obviously couldn't get pulled out...

Anyone have info on this vintage Ford?
