Orland Fire Protection District history

This from Mike Summa for #TBT:

For TBT-Orland FPD’s Engines 7&8, 1999 Pierce Saber 1500/750.  Photo taken at Orland Maintenance Bldg.  I believe these two are dedicated spares, correct me if I am wrong.  These two are probably gone since last week I spotted an Engine 8 in town which was a 2009 Spartan/Darley.  Enjoy and comment.

This from Mike Summa for #TBT:

For TBT – With the 50th Anniversary of the Orland Fire Protection District this year, here is a glimpse of their pre-district days.  It is a tanker built on a 1940’s International chassis.  If anyone knows more information, please feel free to inform.
