LITTLE BIG GUYS

 

By John M. Malecky                                                            September, 2026

 

    In Monmouth County, the Middletown Township Fire Police operate several vehicles. This month we feature Unit 71-3-86, a 2012 Ford F-550 XL 4 x 4 with five seat cab. It is an upgraded chassis on an older body. The older body (with no identification) was once used by MONOC on a paramedic vehicle. In addition it has an ARE add on. Features and equipment include a 7 kw generator, rear telescoping lights, traffic control equipment such as safety cones, caution tape, temporary stop signs with bases and Zephyr traffic sign bases. In addition there are two pieces of unidentified equipment that are covered and mounted alongside the generator. They may be smaller generators.
