Yet you miss the irony of me getting my picture taken with it just three days after learning what that truck is.

I'm sure you could buy one...

They used dozens of them to make the show, if you looked, I bet one could be found.

I want one of the first Squad 51's.

If you look in the first season, they use three different Squads in some episodes.
The differences are not that obvious, two are the same, but with different lightbars, and one has a completely different grill and headlight setup.

That's the one in my pic. Its the one that was used for the majority of the show and was restored a couple years ago and sent on the "Project 51" tour around the country, including the Smithsonian. If you look closely, you can see the "County of Los Angeles Fire Museum" sign on the upper rear corner.

The "Real" Squad 51 is part of the County of Los Angeles Fire Musuem..... And Randy Mantooth helps them out.... does fundraisers, gives speeches, etc.

It was this "Real" Squad 51 that was featured in James Page's Funeral procession last year.

Same truck was on display at the Smithsonian several years ago.... I thing 2000 or 2001 - celebrate 30 years since the show aired.

Lots of history in that truck.

And if I'm ever out that way....I'm getting my picture taken with it ;) :p

I can see the photos now...

Jon diving over the security rope, three guards diving in after him... We can see Squad 51 in the background.

Yeah, I guess that will count.

I used to work in southern California and we ran a newer version of that as a "medic squad."

We had a set of "spreaders" that were a good 3-4 feet tall and had to weigh close to 100lbs. Every time we turned right I was worried they would come flying out the side door onto some ladies car or something.

/Dives for cover :ph34r:

Seriously, Squad 51 was the station number in the TV show Emergency which gave a lot of publicity to EMS in its early years. As a matter of fact, the first couple of episodes dealt with the inception of modern EMS and how the doctors and nurses fought against EMS.

It also set the mindset in the American public that everytime they call an ambulance, they get a Johnny and Roy type paramedic.
