The preferred ride of peeping toms everywhere...

Wow, Brent, you weren't lying -- that is one serious rig!
That would be a long drive to Philly at 48mph...

Final Approach
Reminds me of the old tv show "Emergency".

Pattern Altitude
Old fire trucks are like old police cars, not much use for them or they would still be in service. You can find them all over the mid-west rusting away.

Did anybody ELSE ever read "Eddie and the Fire Engine"?
Nope. They published it for you.

Old police cars seem to sometimes wind up as FBO courtesy cars at airports in smaller towns. It would be pretty cool to have a fire truck as a courtesy car too.
There is a buff group who own a fire truck in the burbs southwest of Chicago. They call the club something like Acme Creek Fire Protection...
Life was good until they took it upon themselves to respond to emergencies and wandered around the south post-Katrina. It took a week or two until the real firefighters learned these guys were phonies.

Yeah. Cops have buffs. These are fire buffs.
Besides responding to Katrina they had participated in parades and held fundraisers.

Every time I see a fire truck rusting in a field, I think about buying it.
Every so often I also think about getting an old Crown Vic from the police auctions. Hey, cop shocks, cop brakes, cop suspension...all it'd need is a lighter!
So, you telling me these guys were scurrying around in firefighter garb, rolling and responding to emergencies, purporting to provide public safety assistance?
Any press links on that?

Yessir! I tried to search for it. The story is too old. The major stories about these guys came a few months after Katrina.
They have the truck painted like the district is real and of course, all have their own fire gear.

Pre-takeoff checklist
It was from Rouse Point, NY origionally. Chad just bought me out of it to make the title look better. I think he is wanting 5k for hit. It was bought out of reserve and used during 9/11. We have pictures of it down at ground zero. It was just for fun. We restore old cars for fun. Chad is a local fireman and shop owner.

Line Up and Wait
Unfortunately, not much use other than for parades, but a beautiful machine, nonetheless.
