Rob Fri, 06 Jun 2008 23:25:31 +0000 http://firegeezer.com/2008/05/29/retired-pumper-gets-recycled/#comment-17638 I happened across this website while looking for parts for my own 46 Ford pumper. I live in Crocker, MO , although I volonteer for another district. This truck is even better to see in person. I know know both the Chief of Crocker and the Chief of Raymondville. This truck will continue to be taken well cared of I'm sure. I agree, it is sad that there are still fire depts still struggling out there and the money doesn't seem to go to the right places all the time. My Dept's first out engine is a 78 Hendrickson with open jumpseats. There are alot of us(depts) out here making do with what we have. Our dept recently donated bunker gear to a dept that still had dirt floors in their station, so there is always somebody more in need. What I am gratefull for is the generousity that exists between depts here. This truck is a perfect example of that. Perhaps somebody will offer Raymondville a more updated apparatus in trade. It is a wonderfull truck. I happened across this website while looking for parts for my own 46 Ford pumper. I live in Crocker, MO , although I volonteer for another district.
