Nope! No idea what they were thinking, but it makes for an interesting photo.

Anyone know how many of these rigs were built? I know of 9, but I haven't started digging yet.

None of those FD's are IN Sanford, but they all have Sanford addresses. Sanford has a career FD with three stations. These other FD's are located in a circle around the city in Lee County, except Benhaven, which is in the next county to the south. There are two more that I will post tomorrow. One has a Sanford address, one doesn't.

To my eye, it just looks like that department likes long pull-loops. They're folded back towards the tray and held in place by some sort of restraining device ie- seat belt strap. Also, this setup would definitely keep the hose load from sliding out of the speed lay while driving as well.

Dave,



I had a friend in college that was on Lemon Springs and he told me about an older gentleman that kept an old Mack engine and another antique in a shed behind Lemon Springs station at one time. Did the guys at Lemon Spring mention anything about this?
