    Beautiful old truck. I saw you said it has something like 12K miles on it. They must be saving a bit of money by keeping that thing around and in service instead of getting a new unit. Great catch!

    • @amott919
      @amott919  7 лет назад +2

      This one only goes out once or twice a year. GF3 gets a little more action, but still not much. So it doesn't have much road time. It may have been around 30K now that I think about it, but still, 30K in 34 years is nothing! And Thanks!

    is there anything older in service with the PFD?

    • @amott919
      @amott919  7 лет назад +2

      Marine Unit 2 was built in 1954, but vehicle wise, this is the oldest.

      Xtermn8 TCH And its hardly ever used. I think they said there was only something like 12K miles on it.

    • @pitviper97
      @pitviper97 7 лет назад

      Aaron Mott so basically its brand new

  • @chrispartlow4533
    @chrispartlow4533 7 лет назад

    This is a fact till this scene hear. The lastime grass1 went out on a call was 1999.

    • @amott919
      @amott919  7 лет назад +1

      Thats not a fact. They've had a few large brush fires in the Cobbs Creek area and I know they were called to the Northeast when GF3 was out of service at least once. All within the last 2-3 years.

    • @chrispartlow4533

    She was barely used don't understand y the dept retired her it kinda stupid r they gonna replace her.

  • @marloostanfield1036
    @marloostanfield1036 7 лет назад

    It's funny cause the 1st time I saw chemical 1 they had it stationed at 49 house.Know logo's were even on it so thought the city purchased a new grass unit likely they didn't kool 2 c grass unit 1 is still Rollin.LOL!!!!!!!!!

    • @amott919
      @amott919  7 лет назад

      Haha, yeah 34 years still going!

  • @michaelglattli2520
    @michaelglattli2520 7 лет назад

    maybe just replace the light bar, its baerly turning.

    • @fmartinjr
      @fmartinjr 7 лет назад

      Appears to be not rotating at all. I'm sure it's an original lightbar and the motor may be shot. So, if the lamps work on the rotating portion of the bar, position all reflectors foward and wire a flasher to them. Word!

  • @marloostanfield1036
    @marloostanfield1036 7 лет назад

    1st thing they got rid of the QUINT for that refurnished engine rather they get the quint back.2nd don't think grass unit 1 had 120k on it I early gets used I mean early that's a fact the last time I saw grass unit 1 in action was in 1999.So y would phila get a new 1when it barely gets used........

    • @amott919
      @amott919  7 лет назад

      If they get federal money to replace them, why not lol
