In my British town of 23,000 people, there are about 5 fire trucks, 2 "urban search and rescue" trucks and 1 paramedic car. Nearest bigger city is about 5 miles away (Worcester)
Oh man there is nothing better than Monarchs I think. Wonderfully built apparatus. I hope to buy one and refurbish it, that is a dream of mine. We had some Spartan LTI's that were 75 foot mid mounts. At the station that I visited as a kid they had a 75 foot mid mount Simon-Duplex LTI Aerial that was an 87 model, and the engine was an 89 Spartan Monarch. Oh did those two run a lot, and they sounded awesome when they both made runs at the same time.
Yes they were. I would love to purchase one to refurbish it and keep it for a fire club. Nothing better than the sounds of a Detroit on a Monarch/Spartan Chassis, revving up down the road from the station.
Hahhaha I miss our Spartan LTI that we had at our station when I was a kid. We had it until 2003 and it was an 87 or 89 model. It was a 75 foot mid mount aerial. Didn't turn the greatest but it was a Detroit powered vehicle. So having that and the engine on a box was a really neat thing as a kid.
What make was the first engine and last truck? I love the LaFrance's I miss ours here in Dallas, which were powered by Detroit Diesels. That is such a wonderful sound.
Hey, did I see "Old Myrtle" in there? Also, it is a shame when they take classic old rigs & put wails on them. For me, that ruins them. Anyways, great video. Not too often do you see those classic rigs responding anymore!
@DTMRM8 Why not? We had white fire trucks for years, nothing ever happened to them. I've seen orange, red, lime green, white, and baby blue fire trucks (Ellettsville Indiana). So again, why not?
@kawasakikx250ff Thats not ugly dude. Thats a classic now a days. Try to respect the ones of the past that made it possible for the ones we have now. Those engines and trucks were ran and used just as hard as these ones n now. Some of the old ones i think were better!
Soo classic.The sounds of older electronic and older mechanical sirens,to me,signifies real fire apparatus.
