That picture rocks!!! Lots of local oldies...



The Irwin Rescue/Engine was sold to Applewood, Armstrong County, in 2003 and was replaced by a 2003 KME

The Grapeville "Spaceship" was donated somewhere down south; I think I still have the article from the Standard Observer.



Great pictures!!

East Point, GA called theirs "Moon Buggy"! The Grapeville rig is a Ward LaFrance Vantage. It was sold to a rural FD in Missouri, per their Chief. Here's a shot of it by itself.
