Great stuff, John! I hope you have plenty more.
Keystone State Relics - 1958 F.W.D. - 03-14-2009
[quote name='John Lake' post='288042' date='Mar 9 2009, 00:06 ']I do not know if this next one is really a relic but it is a Pierce from the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard FD which I am pretty sure no longer exists.[/quote]
John, there is still a Federal Fire Dept at the old PNSY site. When the PNSY shut down and ceased to exist officially, the Fire Dept was renamed to match the identity of the primary Naval activity that still remained- NAVSSES (Naval Ships Systems Engineering Station.) About 2 years ago, when the Navy Facilities Engineering Command re-aligned all of their Fire Departments, the FD's at NAVSSES Philadelphia, Willow Grove, Mechanicsburg, Pa. and a bunch of others were all merged into the "Navy Mid-Atlatic Region Fire and Emergency Services."
Philly, Willow Grove, and Mechanicsburg are all now under one chief, Edward McCue, who is located at NASJRB Willow Grove.
Philly is down to one "enhanced" engine company (5 firefighters, one Captain) and one Assistant Chief are assigned per shift. It is joked that they no longer count "runs in one year" but rather "years in between a run."
Quite a difference from the days when they were one of the busiest Federal Fire Departments in the country.
I believe this Pierce engine, typical of the 1986 Pierce Navy engines, is still down there as a reserve piece.
I myself was assigned to the NAVSSES Philadelphia FD in January of 97 (From Warminster) and I was there just long enough to have a cup of coffee until July of 98 when I went down to Aberdeen Proving Ground, a victim of the Ladder Company being disbanded.

They had two batches of Mack CF's, 1973 & 1980
I think that this is one of the 1973's

Besides is that a Ford Falcon sticking out from behind the truck?
John Lake/Lou Aflalo Collection[/quote]
That is indeed one of the '73's. The '81's had a longer wheelbase. One of the '73's went to Gladwyne eventually.

Thanks for the comments. The sheets that came with the albums lists 1067 photos, I scanned a little over 100 of them. The time frame is from mostly the 70's through early 90's and are custom chassis, no commercial chassis.
