This from Danny Nelms:

From Virginia Fire Trucks FB

Wakefield in Sussex County took delivery of their newest apparatus recently . Heavy Rescue 290 is a 2003 Seagrave TWOODA with Seagrave # 78A75. This unit formerly served St Charles, Illinois where it was painted black over red. Prior to being delivered to Wakefield it received some touch up paint and new graphics. Heavy Rescue 290 carries a compliment of hydraulic and extrication equipment and is powered by a Detroit Series 60 motor. Current Squad 290 is a 1988 Ford L8000-Marion which was originally from Mapleshade, New Jersey. It will be sold once Heavy Rescue 290 enters service. Special thanks to Chief Bowden and John Rose for their generosity in moving the rig for photos.
