Just a minor matter...in case anyone goes looking for them...Haz-Mat 1 -- E.60 -- L.19 are in South Philly at 2301 S. 24th Street.
Great pics. Love to see more Philly stuff.

Here are a couple more Philly trucks. These were taken at the beginning of September at the viewing/funeral for my father-in-law, Thomas Bitto. He was Captain at L.19 -- Haz-Mat 1 at the time of his passing from Colon Cancer. Served 32 years on the job, and was with HazMat 1 for most of the time that I knew him (over 11 years).
I don't have specs on the apparatus...only the pics that were taken outside the church...so if anyone knows more, please fill in the details.
First off...Engine 53:

BTW...I didn't take these. I was inside at the time with my wife and family and rather pre-occupied.

' /> 1958FWD; I got some real deja-vu after seeing some of your color shots; you must have been on the great Philly bus tour on Memorial Day weekend in 1992! Thanks for the memories(has it really been almost 15 years???)Warren Jenkins

Back when those pictures were taken, E60/L19 and HM1 were located at 3031 Grays Ferry Ave, in West Philly, formerly Engine 47's quarters, which was disbanded. E47 has been re-established at 3031 Grays Ferry Ave since, when E60/L19 moved back to S Philly.

Here is another angle of the Ward LaFrance Crash unit from PIA - Foxtrot 1
It is a 1972 Ward (one of 2 that Philly bought).
