[quote name='Dr. Stinebaugh' post='256546' date='Oct 25 2008, 17:40 ']Darin, the 1991 sale ad states that this is a 1972 IH CO-8190 chassis, this was about the last year for this model. Also the original 1200 gal. tank was replaced with a 800 gal. tank in 1986. I have a HBG.-area photo book that has some good views of this rig.

Meadowland's mini appears to be a Howe, similar to the Beck's Run unit, both of which are quite cool-looking!

Marshalls Creek's 1974 Chevy/American went to Glen Rock,York Co.,PA. in 1989, and I think it's still there.[/quote]



To be absolutely honest, I doubted the year I had. I probably typod when I was entering info on my spreadsheet, 7 and 8 are right side by side. Thanks for the correction!

ALF 700 pumper

Newportville, PA



ALF 700 aerial

Maybe a "Washies" rig? (Conshohocken)



Love those Roto-Rays!

The 53 Lafrance from Newportville Fire Company was sold to Neptune Hose Company of Tyrone Pa. Does anyone else have pictures of apparatus from Newportville.

The only Newportville rig I have in my collection is this 1970s GMC/E-One midi-pumper, in a photo taken by my friend Matthew Goldberg. When I visited there a few years back, they didn't seem very photographer-friendly.



Oh, and...politics has nothing to do with fire apparatus discussion in my opinion. There's always a separate forum for that.

Thanks for posting that. That is our old Rescue truck. Sorry for your bad experience here, If anyone wants to come to take pictures at Newportville, this is an open invite, I will personally pull all the trucks out.

Here it was at the Pechin's auction a couple of years ago. What was its fate???
