Midlothian Fire Department history

This from Mike Summa:

Hello,

This is Midlothian’s Engine 2793, a 1980 FordC/Pierce 1250/500.  It is one of the only engines puchased on a commercial chassis by Midlothian.  Hope that you enjoy,

Mike S.

  Yes I like the photo Mike. It reminds me of some of the many rigs Chicago had built on Ford C chassis. The side cabinets were definitely different then what Chicago’s had however the cab with the red and green lights reminds me of Chicago’s.

  Talk about an American classic. Probably the most popular commercial fire apparatus chassis of all time. It lasted well into the 1980’s.
  This one really looks sharp.
