During my travels in Maine, I passed by the Wiscasset firehouse, where I noticed a very out-of-place apparatus. Taking a swing by the firehouse later in the day, I found a Seagrave low-profile aerial in the middle of Maine. Normally these trucks are found in the area in and around lower New York state. Seeing one in Maine was very out of the ordinary. I quickly learned that the department took possession of this apparatus in 2020, which had formerly served the Cape Elizabeth Fire Department in New Jersey.
