I would love to bring it to AZ but that’s a little too high for my comfort…Sorry Mark!

I had the pleasure of driving this apparatus on several occasions during my career at the DBFPD. I noticed that it now sports the Crown nameplates on the front of the cab. This must have been done after we sold it in 1984, because the nameplates were never mounted, as our Chief kept them in a drawer only to be passed on to yours truly. Lots of great memories about this one. Too many to include here. Thanks for posting it Larry.
