at 13:27 on Monday, September 27th WFPS responded to a reported low-rise apartment fire. on arrival crews from station 4 discovered a working kitchen fire in an apartment on the second floor and transmitted a 10-34. Crews made an aggressive attack on the fire and were able to get a quick knock on it and canceled all incoming units. Crews vented the building, conducted overhaul, and packed up. the call was cleared in about an hour and a half. 

Units on scene: Rescue 4, District Chief 4, Engine 103, Safety 5, Ambulance 91, Fire investigator 2.


   
   
   
   
   

Last fall I purchased a 1946 Mack Type 45 at an auction.

It originally was purchased for the Eminence Kentucky Fire Department.

It was sold in the 1970s to a collector in College Park MD, then to a collector in Hagerstown MD.

From there it went to Charlestown WV, then to Fredrick, MD.

It now resides in Pittsburgh, PA

I have been trying to find past pictures of this particular unit and have not had much luck. Could anyone help?

I any also looking for any Mack Type 45 pictures, front, rear sides, etc. I am restoring it and looking to have it period accurate

Below is a picture at the auction where I bought it.

Antique Mack.  No department marking but I get a Baltimore vibe off of it.

   

To Firepics.net.  We went live on 9/18/04, transitioning the group from a mailing list to an online presence that at one time was the largest online collection of fire service related photos.  In that time, we have had thousands of topics and posts.  While in this era of social media the site isn't what it used to be, it remains a huge online resource.  Here's to many more!

On September 9th, 2021 WFPS was called to a technical rescue at the construction site next to the Misericordia hospital. on arrival Engine 4 found that a lady had broke in and was climbing the crane. Two members from rescue 8 climbed the crane and made contact with the climber within 30 mins of arrival. they started climbing her down the ladder of the crane. Ladder 11 was set up in the street to possibly use their aerial to bring down the team from the last few sections of the crane. Rescue 8 flew the drone to search the top of the crane for any other persons. the climber was checked out by ems before being placed under arrest. the call lasted for approximately 2 hours.

Hi, 
I am a newbie here and came across Bill Hattersley almost 25 years ago.  I'm wondering if he is still around and contact info if you have it.  I searched this forum and the only mention is credits of his pictures.
Respectfully,
