I heard a rumor Yorktown sold Engine 275, does anyone have the details to who they sold it to and why?

after checking with a few sources the information of any deal regarding E-275 appears to be unavailable to the public and FF. Vergo at this time.

Check with pops for further

For all curious minded individuals interested in knowing about the status of 275. 275 was sold to a small town just outside of Fayettsville, Arkansas, for a 5 digit sum.

Much nicer seeing it go to a second life in a needed department then to end up at Brookfield for scrap.

Yes it is a Pierce. It was a twin of 274 (sold years ago). This engine was the one that rolled over returning from a call in mid 90's. It was converted to a source pumper. It has a 3000 gallon folding tank and 4 lengths of hard suction. Also its 4 wheel drive.

We were there in Appleton April 94 picking up engine 59 when we saw them rebuilding that rig
