Some comments on the Hershey photos. All the B/W photos with captions are copied from my book, "Protecting His Dream"-a short history of the Hershey FD. Although the majority of the photos are mine, some of the photos credited to me in these posts were obtained from various sources when writing the book. These sources are listed in the book's preface. Anyone wanting to view color versions of some of my photos should check FIREWAGONPHOTO.COM.



Post 2614--this steamer was previously incorrectly identified as belonging to Hershey and was on their website at one time. Hershey's only steamer was a smaller size and is currently displayed in the Hershey Museum.



Post 2622--this is the 1984 Ford pictured in post 2623. It was incorrectly identified in this photo from a book on chief's cars. Their first chief's car was the 1979 Malibu (former Derry Twp. police car) obtained in 1981 and shown in post 2621.

Thanks for the corrections to some of my posts Richard, I knew your collection was used extensively for the book and I was unsure how many of the photos were taken by you. I tired to gauge by the year of the apparatus as to weather you took them or not.



Now on to today's only picture.



Oberlin Gardens Fire Company. Company 49. This company is no longer in service. They were a very small company in Swatara Township, Dauphin County. It was formed in 1953 and officially closed their doors in 1990. In that time they only had 3 rigs. The first was a 1941 American LaFrance which I have never seen a photo off. There next piece was a 1950 L-Model Mack which was posted earlier in this thread or in the Mack thread and that is the only picture I have seen of the Mack. There final piece was the following piece:
