Mapleton downsized to one engine. Mack was sold and Bruco is still for sale. The ALF had some additional compartments added to it.
Pennsylvania Fire/EMS Apparatus - upstatefire31 - 12-09-2014
downsizing is never a good thing....atleast its the case here in NY....Some VFD's did that but ended up closeing doors or joining to form all new VFD's
Pennsylvania Fire/EMS Apparatus - Guest - 12-29-2014
upstatefire31,
I spoke with the Chief from Mapleton. At this point as Pat said the Bruco Ford is still for sale and the CF Mack has been sold to a private collector from Cumberland County, PA. They do have plans to add another engine at some point unkown when or what time frame they are looking at.

Quote:So I have seen pics of a few Pierce pumpers,a squad type unit and now this unit all for a diffrent dept but with the same colors. What is the story on the units and why there this color?The Manheim Township Fire Department is comprised of what were 3 independent VFDs in that community. They all had different colors for their apparatus.
Several years ago they started this quasi merger. It is my understanding that the companies themselves have not merged, but they are now operating in a more cooperative fashion, like common SOPs.
The township is also more involved in how fire services are provided and funded. A few years ago they purchased 4 identical pumpers, one for each station plus 1 in reserve. All 4 cycle thru the stations to even out their usage. Several other units have been added since then and as far as I know, the ones in this paint scheme are township owed rather than by a specific station.

I guess that would be a good idea, makes sence this way everyone has the same truck set up. I hope in the long run it pays off.
Pennsylvania Fire/EMS Apparatus - Guest - 01-04-2015
I truly wish more departments would recognize what Manheim Township is doing and follow suit. This needs to happen way more than it is especially in Pennsylvania. We have towns that are 2 or 3 square miles with 4 and 5 fire departments all trying to survive. Its time to consolidate and better utilize the limited resources we have available to us.
Pennsylvania Fire/EMS Apparatus - upstatefire31 - 01-04-2015
I agree, We had a FD new me that had 2 companys in one town and when times got tough a few yrs back it was decided to make them one dept. They still run out of there stations but there not called out as 2 companys and when they find a big enough space they will all be under the same roof
Pennsylvania Fire/EMS Apparatus - upstatefire31 - 01-04-2015
Ive been asking guys in the county what they thought of a county run Fire Dept and I have to say alot of them are all for it and want to see it happen.

It's tight for their station. They said it clears at the closest point by 3/4 of an inch.
