This engine responded to the same forest fire in 2002 in the Cleveland National Forest in Southern California as the last one and should be a bit easier due to the distinctive logos and visible lic plate, but has an interesting back story about it.

I'm just trying to figure out the logo on the door, it looks very familiar to me. It definitely has a Nevada license plate, but I can't figure out.

Retired (2008) Truck 751
Elmira Heights Fire Department
Elmira Heights, NY

Prior to that it served in Zanesville,OH
Zanesville's history is a little gray but..It looks like it served at the central station and was replaced by ladder 6.

After enhancing the image I could make out ____ Heights Fire Department on the Building. I searched a snorkel database and couldn't find anything.
So I went to the state office of fire prevention and looked up the list of fire department codes for federal grants, which lists basically every department in a state. I had to go through by county looking for departments with heights in the name. I found their website, and went through all the apparatus photos.

This truck was retired after a crash, but the unit is still all over the departments page.
