To Scott and everyone else that posted photos in this thread, great job!!!
I just returned today from my first trip to Pittsburgh and had quite a bit of exposure to the volunteer companies in the South Hills area. My wife and I were staying in Bridgeville with relatives for a wedding.
Anyway, I managed to shoot quite a few rigs (nothing that you all haven't seen before I am sure, but will post if you want me to) and I am hoping there are some out there that can come up with shots of anything old or new from the following - not from the FD websites (I did find a few posted by Scott earlier in this thread):
Mayview State Hospital (near Bridgeville - my Uncle said they had their own FD and didn't know when they disbanded)
Bayer plant (I am told they have rigs there)
Bridgeville (shot their current Truck and rescue - they are replacing their KME engine next month with a ALF)
Rennerdale (shot the Quantum)
Presto (shot the Pierce Lance)
Glendale Hose Company
Carnegie (shot all rigs here)
East Carnegie (shot all but their older ALF they are disposing of)
Bower Hill
Kirwan Heights (from their website, their ALF is xFDNY)
older Green Tree prior to their Mack CF pumper they are replacing
Thanks
