Nice rig, even though it's a 1970 Seagrave. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

This is the 3rd for three built. My apologies for the poor quality photo. This photo was sent to me about a year ago, and there are not many/any good photos out there of this truck.

How many of these 50ft. Crowns did LAFD have. If I remember right This was the same second rig that was run in the short lived "Code Red" TV show. That was a really bad show, couldn't hold a candle to Emergency.

Andy, The Crown you are referring to was actually a 50ft Snorkel on Code Red. They had [2] of them and they ran a Wagons in a heavy duty task force. They only had a couple of the 50ft telesqurts as well. Agreed, Code Red could never hold a candle to Emergency!
