Former Peotone FPD squad for sale (more)

More from Danny Nelms about the former Peotone FPD unit now up for sale:

A post shared on the Society for the Preservation and Appreciation of Antique Motor Fire Apparatus of America (SPAAMFAA) provided some interesting background on this unique piece of fire apparatus history:

Originally based in Ardmore, Pennsylvania;

 

ALF 700 tda, Huber Heights, Ohio. 1984 Pierce Arrow retractor/refurb, Job # F1271.

 

In 1995, the tractor was upgraded with an Ideal Beverage body and underwent a full refurbishment. It was later refurbed again in 2000 by RPI and eventually sold to Peotone, Illinois.

 

Before its current owner, the unit was used by a company called Qualified Spill Response, which went out of business. It’s likely that the current owner acquired it during the company's liquidation.

All images were taken during the unit’s time in Huber Heights, Ohio.

This unit has a rich history and is a great example of how fire apparatus can be repurposed over the years. If you're a collector or just a fan of vintage fire trucks, this could be a rare find. Let us know if you've seen anything like this before!
