Many Pierce built minis have proven the test of time, with many 70's units still in service, some with newer chassis. There were even a few at the big Great Lakes muster.
Here is one that is nearing 40 yrs. of service, it was bought by Shaft,MD. VFD in 1974. The 250/360 Dodge W-300 chassis rig served as a rescue, attack engine, and brush piece during its 34 yr. career with Shaft. In 2008, it was sold to the Baltimore Pike VFC,also in Allegany County,MD.pretty sure it is still there.
