For #TBT-Here was the Orland FPD Truck 6004, a 1987 Spartan/Darley 1500/0/55′. Photo taken in June 1987 at the Orland Days Parade. Must have been just delivered because truck is not yet been lettered. Enjoy and comment.

This from Eric Haak:

Hammond, Indiana had a rather large commercial fire during the early morning hours of April 29th. The fire pretty much incinerated an old 2-story in the heart of downtown. I took the opportunity to get a few images of some of their rigs that were on scene once the sun came up and I thought I would share them here.
