Stauffer Fire Apparatus:



A.W. Stauffer is a small builder of agri-business bodies located in Terre Hill, Lancaster County, PA. Shortly after WW II they built a pumper on a Diamond T chassis for Terre Hill Fire Company, using a 500 gpm Darley Champion pump. It was successfull and other Fire Companies in the area came to Stauffer and had Fire Apparatus built. This was never a large operation with only a few rigs per year being built. The only advertising that I know of was by word of mouth, and the rigs were built on chassis supplied by the Fire Companies. Stauffer built rigs were delivered new in 3 Pennsylvania Counties that I can document, Lancaster, Chester, and Berks. The biggest users of Stauffer apparatus that I can find (two rigs each,) were West Grove, Terre Hill and Kimberton. Stauffer also used Hale pumps on later apparatus. All I can find info on had 500 gpm or smaller pumps.



When UL took over the testing of new Fire Apparatus in the 1970's from the old NBFU, they required pump tests to be completed at a drafting test pit, and the creek next to the Stauffer shop did not comply, so Stauffer discontinued building Fire Apparatus.



A.W. Stauffer and I share a distant relative. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/3_12_21.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='3_12_21' /> <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/Captain.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Captain' />
