yea thats one of the oldest trucks still in service in new hampshire but the city next to us beat us cuase they have a 1975 e-one but we dont even use our 78 maxim much mostly for forestry or when we have detail somewhere like for festivals
i tried uploading a pic of my favorite pic but it only shows the middle of the truck but if you go to farmingtonfd.com and go to the photo gallary you can see some of our trucks
we dont have the ladder truck or the rescue we replaced both of them with the 08 FFA intruder 2 quint
that is a nice truck the town i live in got a truck like that last year as a fema grant
my favorite truck to ride as to be our 2001 international pumper with a 750 gal tank 1000 gpm pump with the 5 man cab witch is the 1st due on all calls but the only time i get to ride that is when theres a call on weekends witch is when im at the station most cuase theres only 2 peple on call but the most time im stuck (not complaining) riding our new 08 FFA intruder 2 quint with a 400 gal tank 500 gpm pump and a 6 man cab ... once in a while when theres a brush fire thats out of a hydrant district and we need a 3 truck i like to ride the 78 maxim just to sit in the jumpseats in the back
lol.... alot of the time we dont get any fire calls a day but we usually average 2-3 ems calls a day the last fire call besides last night was 4 days ago last week if i remember right we only got 5 fire calls but about 15 ems
i got on another call today the explorer meeting just got out and i was waiting for my ride and the tone went off we all thought it was ems so we didnt pay attention till we heard strafford country to farmington fire i got on the first truck responding then i was told to wait for second truck to roll out someone called in with smok showing it was an appliance overheating
my favorite time to wait for calls is on saturdays and sundays cuase people are having camp fires brush fires and stuff like that plus on the dept. im on theres only 2 people on call on weekends so we just play get everythin g done in the morning then have the rest of the weekend to do what ever
my favorite call was last year on the towns b-day there was fireworks and i was on firework detail and one of the fireworks went off to early and cought a side of a hill on fire it was easy for us cuase we were less then 200 feet away and allready had water supply hooked up all
