Monster 1 taking it in !!!!!

For those who are not aware, Monster 1 is a Fire Ed showpiece. It has a Seagrave body (1940?) and is powered with a natural gas engine. It is used at various Fire Ed functions and public gatherings. Fire Investigator Don Moss started this project many years ago with cooperation from Va. Beach VoTech, Va. Natural Gas, IAFF Local 2924 and other sponsors.

Capt,
Is that the one that used to belong to Port Penn,Delaware (Sta 29), was used as a Marsh Firefighting Vehicle. There should be pics on their site. I think it is, from what was told. Thanks RD

Are you talking about the Monster Fire truck? All I know is before it was a Monster Fire truck, it was an old Seagrave pumper that the above mentioned Fire Investigator owned. I do not know where he got it from. I will ask.

vbcapt · May 27, 2010

Monster 1 is a 1944 Seagrave that Don purchased from the Frisco Volunteer Fire Dept., North Carolina. Frisco is a small town in Cape Hatteras. If anyone wants more info go to: www.monsterfiretruck.com

Thanks, Capt, here is the Truck I though it was, the 5th PIC down. I do know they sold to a Dept for P/R. Thanks for the info. RD
