Hey Bruce! My father was a Milford firefighter, and was part of the crew that put your fire truck in service in 1990, and operated it until they retired it 18 years later. He actually took it for its last ride for Milford. The truck was Engine 4, and the crew was known as the “Bulls”. I actually got my name because of this exact truck. My father asked me to comment, in hopes that you’d see it, and let him tell you more about that truck and it’s wonderful history.

I am fairly new to your channel. As a former career chief engineer with 31 years service my duties included fire engine driver's training, engine and ladder company operations, and vehicle maintenance. A few things to consider so you don't have any mishaps is to secure and empty the interior before raising the cab. The smallest item can roll out of place and strike the windshield and crack or pop it out. Also another key factor is the engine hours verses miles. In the life span of fire apparatus those numbers will be key, you might only have a few thousand road miles but a much higher reading on the engine hours meter. Where as most fire apparatus only travel a few miles to an emergency call, the could spend hours at higher rpm's at a working fire. That put a lot of wear and tear on the internal parts of the engine. When drafting from a fresh water or static source, you need to make sure all your connections are air tight and sealed, any air leaks in the hose you will not get any suction to draw the water. A centrifugal, midship-mounted fire pump on a fire department engine must be primed before it will operate. Primed means fully water flooded and all the air inside the pump casing preferably removed. An operating midship pump filled with water is self-sustaining in that it creates quite a high vacuum at the eye of the impeller. This provides a continuous intake of water when drafting from a static supply source. However, when water is drained and the pump is filled with air, the centrifugal pump impeller is a very poor vacuum pump. I will see if I still have some old training materials and send it your way. Best of luck.

You would be surprised who would mess with a unlocked fire engine. In 2013, we had a meth head steal one of our ambulances while on a call.

From Pawn Stars: Most children would want a fire engine for Christmas, you actually got yourself a real fire engine.

I've been a First Responder in Fire and EMS for 20 year and am currently an Engineer/Paramedic. My advice would be to check with your local Police Department and advise them of your intentions of fixing it up and donating it. Otherwise, some communities have ordinances prohibiting emergency lights and sirens on a private vehicle if you aren't and active member of a Fire Department. They might ask you to disconnect them while you have it. Other than that, it looks like a 90 Pierce Custom Cab Pumper, probably 1k gallon tank, pump can be between a 750gpm to a 1260gpm. I wouldn't go too far with the nozzle you had on the 1 1/2" hose. Look for "Pump Ops 1" videos if you want to learn more about the pump panel. Have fun with it buddy!

This is so cool my dad is building a 1950's firetruck so I can definitely understand your passion.

If you need any help finding equipment and stuff like that let me know. I have a lot of old equipment, sirens, lights and more.

Sweet! Couple of suggestions on water, if needed, up here the water company will rent you a hydrant meter, they don't care how much water you take from a hydrant as long as you meter and pay for it. Also check with your local concrete plant, they have high capacity pumps and the one I worked for never minded filling tanks for people who needed lots of water. And of course free is best if you have a pond or similar to draw from.

Hey Bruce. As a couple others on here, I am also a professional firefighter. I work for a department in north Pinellas County and I am a driver engineer for the past 18 years. My main job is to basically pump the truck. So if you have any questions about how to pump the truck or why we do what we do, just ask. I will try to help the best I can. Couple things, make sure when you are in pump gear, you are moving water, either flowing a hose or recirculating. The water can get so hot in the pump that you can melt the pump bearing and do serious damage to the pump. Second, dripping water from the pump packing (pump seal) is normal. It is usually a rope seal and they should drip 4 to 10 times a minute when pumping. If its not to bad of a drip, I would leave it. It is not a easy job. Have fun with the truck, and again, any thing, please ask.

I am certified fireman. I never pursued it. My dad and I went thru the training when I was 16 and I turned 17 and got certified. It was thru a volunteer fire department. The time to suit up at the time we trained was 1min and 30sec. They allowed us 2 min before we passed. We also owned a truck it was a 1963 Dodge pumper with 600 + original miles. The yellow truck are usually for airport use. Ours was yellow as well. It had a cannon that you operated from inside the cab. We lived on Lake Oconee Ga. so we got water as much as we wanted. I’ll look for a pic to send to you. We had so much fun. I’m 42 now that lets you know how long it was. I miss it now seeing yours.

Hey Bruce, love the channel. Another shoutout from Milford, CT! I see the fire fighting apparatus up here mostly red in color. But there may be others. I saw a truck wrapped in pink for breast cancer awareness once, but not sure about yellow. Could be a from it’s time in Tennessee from what the seller said in the video. I used to dream about trucks and stuff too when I was a kid. Can’t wait to see how the cab over turns out when you’re done. That’s my favorite part of the channel. I also think you handled the Ice Man situation with class. Great job overall !!! ✌️😎

First off, it’s an “ENGINE “ not a truck! Second, those are wildland nozzles on the 1-1/2” crosslay.

I'm a volunteer firefighter in Alabama and I love dealing with it all. It's real fun

Oh hey that’s cool! Amazing that you got all those clothes and lines with it too. 😊

Bruce has close to wear when it’s below 50 in Florida.

Peanut needs fire boots. I'm sure someone makes them.

Gidday mate! Love your page and your adventures purchasing and fixing equipment. Keep on doing what your doing man, I really could see this doing well on discovery🤙🏻

I think every kid always wanted a fire truck ,,I don't yet own one but i do have my eye on one , it's an older one than this but quite unique too I do however own a school bus and my favorite of them all is one i have had for 2 years now ,, a 1948 GMC PD-3751 motorcoach which i do drive regularly and absolutely love the looks it gets it was originally a greyhound coach until 1965 and it was converted to an RV/motorhome in 1977 ,,i bought it in feb 2018 and have refurbished it completely , including an in-frame engine OH like you are doing to the cabover ,it has the original engine still a 6-71 detroit diesel 2 stroke ,, it has been upgraded to the 4 valve head and turbocharger ,changed all of the exterior lights to LED and upgraded the electrical systems and plumbing as well in the RV modernized that stuff while leaving the 1970s era feeling to it it's great to drive on the highway , similar in size to a 35ft motorhome i can easily make 12.5 MPG on the freeway when most RVs can barely break 8 mpg

"Come here girl. I'm gonna put your fire out!" LOL!

Very honorable thing to do. make a few videos and donate it to a volunteer station .. might save a life somewhere! Awesome

I like the EOne body and Grummer turn signals on the front. Nice looking truck and you will have a lot of fun with it. I am A Captain at a department in Georgia.

Standard layout for hoses is 13/4 preconnects for the crosslays, on rear 1 13/4 lay and 1 2/12 lay, hydrant line in center bed. That's either more 21/2 or 6"or 8" LDH (long distance hose) using storz connectors

Where’s the federal? That’s where you get the real sound!

Highstreett looks like there was probably one on the front bumper at one point. Probably got taken off and put in service on another rig. Or it got sold because those Q sirens can pull in a lot of money

Hell I'm a firefighter and I want an engine really bad 😂😂

Hey Bruce Wilson it's good to see that you just bought a fire truck have fun with it. Just imagine all the traffic moving out of your way and going through red lights.

Wow I know many departments would be running it as a first or second out engine! Especially being a Pierce! Retired firefighter (captain) Congratulations!!!

Why has the latest video been taken down?

what happened to the last two videos you uploaded?

Awesome truck! Congrats on the new purchase!

I think you did everything right who wouldn’t wanna fire truck that’s really awesome of you to to buy one and then to give it back to the fire department at needs it.

You just pushed me deeper into sadness lol! Since I was 5 I’ve wanted to be a firefighter. I did everything to get on the departments I have certifications from FEMA up the ass and EMT courses and training. But I still can’t be on any department because I have epilepsy so I “could be a risk to myself and others on the scene” I still got into a junior program a few years ago sort of... not full time. So I have turnout gear and everything but I’m mostly sad because I wanted to go and get a pumper from one of my local departments and it was the yellow one but it’s gone forever😭

You don’t need to that one there will mount to it

now that is totally awesome videos about your firetruck and school bus .. I can't wait to see more totally awesome videos about firetruck and school bus and big truck

Man, this vid took me back to 75 when the Firemen used to come to my school every Friday of the month and give us demos & fire safety lectures. That's when those big reds were around, lol. Congrats Bruce with your big badd rig.
