MS Paint Anyone! Fire Apparatus Part III
Clearfield, PA Fire Company 1 ran the Ambulance Service for the town. In 1970 the members of Company 1 got a grant from PENNDOT to buy a rescue truck for the new I-80 going through town. The truck was one of the 1st to have the Hurst Performance Tool (Jaws of Life) on it. It was also a 6x6 all wheel drive, with a 300gal tank and high pressure pump. The truck could hold 4 litter patients for transport if needed. It was considered ONE OF A KIND at its time. The MONSTER as it was nicknamed was made on a Ford chassis by Bruco in near by Altoona, PA.

Here are a few Newark NJ FD ladder trucks to go with Fireman5230's rigs. The first is a 1987 Emergency One Hurricane 110 ft. rearmount. The sign on the main is not authentic, just something I added. Credits to KDWMAEMT, Ladder13, Rescue29Engine23, and AVFC1699.

Not the best but here is the 1960 American LaFrance TURBO CHIEF that went to San Fransico FD. I have had this ALF cab and chassis for a few years and do not have the orginial owner. It started life as a 700 Cab and was modified by me.

Here is a twist. Rescue 1 of NJ built this unit for the NJSP/OEM for the State run USAR Team NJ-TF1. There were other rigs closely made like this but the unit assigned as RESCUE 5 to the NJSP is the only with 4 wheel drive. I do not have the owner of the orginial drawing.

Bob Ont's TFD High Pressure 700 series ALF was my begining for this 1954 CFR rig. Based loosely on 3 6x6 rigs that went to the major aircraft companies of the time.

Based on the last 700 ALF CFR rig, I did a WHAT IF... What if the USAF and ALF stuck to the 700 Cab for the O-11 series of CFR rings of the 50's.... This is what I came up with...

Newark's First Ford Rescue was in a wreck. This is what it looked like BEFORE hitting a car. It was referbed with a new REO chassis afterwards.
