(I think that the rescue cos. might be two piece companies)

The photo of the Ford C-8000/E-One is mine.  The rest are not, I claim no rights to them, I merely reposted them here.

Charleston replaced the Tower pictured with a new Smeal.
Also last year they added a Pierce engine and a Hackney rescue similar to Huntington and Wheeling rescues.

The Hackney rescue replaced a GMC something or other that is now running at Rio Grande Ohio.

Did they replace all three trucks with Smeals or just the one?  Now the Pierce, ehh I'll not discuss that.
