Still not sure what the chassis model is, but several searches comes up as either Panther or FireCat the cab is unique to HME and if you google Grumman it's based on HME according to this they used Panther chassis supplied from HME Quote Grumman built a full line of apparatus on commercial and custom chassis. It introduced its own line of aerial devices in 1982 and a custom Panther chassis from HME in 1988. https://fire.fandom.com/wiki/Grumman_Emergency_Products -- Last edit: 2025-05-27 10:25:30

Grumman then closed down their fire apparatus manufacturing in 1992, in which HME launched the 1871 series that same year following Grumman’s departure. Link to "www.fireapparatusmagazine.com" So I’d guess that anything 1989-1991 would be Grumman, and 1992 and up would be HME.
