On our recent travels, Dianna an I spotted these MV based Fire Trucks in Roby (Fisher County) Texas:

And, a pile of parts and pieces...

To be continued......
I agree with your MV tally. Although some of the "other" vehicles may have at one time been owned by Uncle Sam as well.
I also agree... It takes DEEP POCKETS, or a fire department's commitment to its heritage, to maintain and shelter those collectibles.
I'm going to BUMP this thread with a video "SCAVENGER HUNT" of sorts.
Watch this video and then answer TWO questions:
1. How many Fire Trucks, Rescue Trucks, etc. rollout for this "ALARM"???
2. How many (obviously) former MILITARY VEHICLE based apparatus mustered for this event???
I'm...
Thanks for reviving this thread.
Here's one from San Angelo, Texas's July 3rd Pops Concert and Fireworks Display.... the National Guard's Howitzers are used authentically for the 1812 OVERTURE as the symphony plays it. (Yes, the music composition calls for CANNON FIRE.) The Fire Crew from...

Grape Creek (TX) VFD New-to-them Brush Truck
I've been watching this brush truck being built for the Grape Creek Volunteer Fire Department (unincorporated community just outside San Angelo in Tom Green County, Texas, USA).
She started out as a DRMO M931 and I first spotted her at a heavy...
Rory,
That's awesome! I've always marvelled at the way firefighters take such pride in maintaining their equipment.... It's more than just readiness. It's almost admiration or even "worship" of a polished "idol". Maybe it's just a way to spend their idle time awaiting the sheer panic of the...
Interesting :grin:
It seems that not much remains of the original sheetmetal, but the mechanicals and substructure seem intact. It sure looks "intentional". I wonder if they were mass produced or if that's a one-of-a-kind build.
Thanks, Rory [thumbzup]
Goodfellow AFB, San Angelo, TX: FIRE TRUCK Static Displays
Goodfellow AFB is home for the Department of Defense Fire Academy.
