Found this listing on govdeals.com earlier today and thought it was worth sharing. It's a 1994 Pierce Saber pumper that caught my eye. Here's what the auction page says:
The auction ends on October 17, 2022, at 2:00 PM Eastern Time. There are still 29 days and 15 hours left on the countdown timer. The buyer's premium is set at 12.50%, and the starting bid is $500.00. Currently, there have been four bids so far, with the highest bidder listed as M******o. The current bid stands at $550.00, but the minimum bid required to win is $575.00, with increments of $25.00.
Under the hood, it has an 8.7L inline-six diesel engine from the Detroit series 40, delivering 300 horsepower paired with an Allison MD3060 transmission. The wheelbase measures 176 inches. The water pump is a Waterous model capable of 1500 gallons per minute, supported by a 1000-gallon tank.
This truck was taken out of frontline service back in 2020 and placed into reserve status. Throughout its active years, it received regular maintenance. It still runs and pumps water effectively, though it does show some signs of body rust. For anyone interested in taking a closer look, you can contact Chief Mike Spiro at 847-551-3805 to schedule an inspection. The seller strongly recommends potential buyers to inspect each asset thoroughly before placing a bid. Be sure to review all the terms, images, and descriptions as well. All items are sold "AS IS," so professional inspection is highly advised before use.
Winning bidders are responsible for any applicable taxes, and pickup times are available from 8 AM to 3 PM on weekdays (Monday through Thursday). An appointment must be made prior to pickup. When collecting the item, individuals need to bring both the buyer’s certificate and a valid ID. Unfortunately, the seller doesn't offer shipping or packing assistance for third-party carriers either.
I attached a photo from West Dundee Fire Department. Thanks to Martin for sharing this find! Let me know if anyone has questions about this listing.
