I have a video of a Seagrave fire truck on a run in Laramie Wyoming if you want to see it. Its on my channel. You will need to scroll past a bunch of train videos but its

there.

@dreambuilders48808 Yes,I have seen this video.So classic.Trains and Fire trucks,nothing wrong with that.I love trains,emergency vehicles,construction vehicles

and air craft,all since I was a child in the early 70's.

There is another "antique" from Mill Creek: It's one of the first "Cab-Ahead-of-Engine" ALF's first built back in the late 1930's, preceding the 700 series. I'm not sure if the fire company owns it or not; I've only seen it in photos.

[fmartinjr]

@MrFWDSeagrave Unknown.It was a rig that 'Delmarva Referb' re-done and brought it to the Convention.No information was available.

Bet that old LaFrance at the beginning had a 6V-53 Detroit in it!! Most 900 and 1000-series LaFrance pumps I've seen had 6V-53's in them.

If it's on a Sunday I'll more than likely make it but I work Saturdays.

Watch the video "Nice Seagrave." It's just like Mill Creek's rig, but with an open cab. See what you think of THAT 8V-71 and compare it to Mill Creek's.

Good to know. Thank you.
