They have a new Pierce Ascendant 107ft that replaced it

A lot of rigs once they’re spares or OOS are stored outdoors. This caused deterioration and other issues. Not a bad idea letting buyers know this didn’t happen with this rig.

They don’t staff the truck, correct? Just a jump company or perhaps in town fire? Is it due on boxes?

Many Florida depts. that ave their rigs outside are usually parked under a lean-to.

Well Harry, this isn’t Florida. It’s really not a fair comparison. Also, the rig is a 1990–almost 30 years old. With only 18K miles on it, after all this time, I would call that a steal if any department buys it. Looks like it could still be a very reliable rig for some.

well ttguy u be surprised how many fire depts. in florida keep there rigs outside yet it is florida but they have high heat hot sun which fades rigs and vehicles

Good to see it was “kept indoors”. Struck me as kind of funny.

with under 19000 miles that seems to be a waste to get rid of this

Looks like it had a nice long run.
