I like all the new rigs being produced by C3, but frankly I would like to see something with a little more fire under its belt. A good example brought to mind is this 1979 Pierce Hendrickson. Engine 7 has served the Morehead (Kentucky) Fire Department since she first left Appleton and she has been a battle wagon for sure. The very first custom built our department purchased and now she is going to the wayside for a much needed rest. I have many fond memories of riding in her open-cab, rear-facing jump seats. Don't we all have memories of such times? Remember those cold winter nights, snuggling up next to the engine compartment trying to stay warm even though you are soaking wet from the last fire call? It is this kind of apparatus that one day we will look to our recruits and reminisce about.
I know I'd by em... How about you?
