@AnthonyFireDept202 MVA the rescue was in front and the rescue is always first out the door to a MVA but i could b wrong cuz both rigs were rite with each other so they could have just loaded up and went but im pretty sure it was an MVA
I'm a little confused. You have 2 rescues numbered 15, right? I just saw the one in the other video which is the Mack/Swab, and now this Maxim, which I know has since been sold to a collector in NY State. Is one a reserve unit? If so which is which? Please clarify. Thanks.
I've been on other videos in the meantime and forgot about this one. So if there is only one rescue then the Mack (shown here) REPLACED the Maxim rescue, not supplemented it.
It's a standard two-trumpet horn that is also used by medium-duty GMC and Ford trucks. I had one like that on my Bronco II with an air compressor and a small storage tank. It was LOUD!!! but I had to take it off because every time I wanted to use it there was ALWAYS some old hag standing on the corner that would inevitably die of a heart attack if I blew it. It has a nice sound, though.
Never mind. I looked it up on the web site and it's a refurbed Maxim/Gerstenslager(sp). One thing I liked about this video is that the Maxim is clearing everything in front of it with the just Q and horns while the truck FOLLOWING is using everything IT has. Very nice.
Mifflin County? Alot of accidents related to the West Mifflin Steel Works I'm sure.

It's ironic how the rescue clears traffic with just the Q and horn while the following unit has EVERYTHING going.

Sorry for being so thick, hph. Since they both are fairly classic rigs I couldn't tell which one was the one being used and the one that was retired.
