I wanted a better pic of this truck, but I compromised for this. They also had a matching engine to this unique apparatus that was recently sold to Buladean, NC wayyyyy up in the hills of Mitchell County. I plan to shoot it when the opportunity arises!

For those keeping score it's actually the Southard Fire Company of Howell Township, NJ.

Thanks for the info guys! I love it when people can fill in the blanks for me!



These next few pics are BY FAR not perfect. These were shot late in the evening at a 4th of July Parade in Wilkesboro, NC. It was one of those "shoot it now, or you may NEVER see it again" kinda things. So I chose to shoot, and hopefully preserve some history!

DCFD< this wouldn't be the Eng 10 that the Code 3 model was based on?

[Andrew2340]

Why yes it would actually Gary! I was pretty surprised to find it in a second home already!



Check out the pump panel on this beast! I knew something looked different, but I couldn't put my finger on it. Finally, I realized the pump panel faces the front of the cab instead of the hosebed. What a strange configuration!
