Terry, you might want to clean that lens.
Terry's Tid Bits II - dawson_fire - 11-19-2007
Thanks John! During the summer months when I take the camera out it gets condensation on the lens and I never remember until I download the pictures that it will do that when the truck is at 70 degrees and it is 101degrees outside.

Terry,
The Mack you have listed for New Franklin was actually ran out of the Franklins of Chambersburg Fire Dept. It was replaced a couple of years before they purchased their new twin E\-One engines. I always wondered what happened to it.

To Explain a little history behind this unit. This unit was purchased in 1995 by the Franklin Fire Co of Chambersburg and ran as Engine 41. The reason for purchasing this unit is because of the following incident:
from www.sta4.com under the history page
In 1995 while responding to a kitchen fire on the Warm Spring Road and while going back a farm lane to the house, Engine 45 was traveling at a very slow speed because the dirt lane had a lot of ruts and groundhog holes in it. The engine hit a small groundhog hole near the edge of the road and the dirt road caved in under the weight of the fire engine causing it to roll down a small hill and come to rest on its roof. The fire engine had a full crew of six on it. No one was seriously injured, but all were taken to the hospital to be checked out and all were released. Upon the roll over this engine was then sent back to the E\-One plant to have the damage repaired. In the mean time we were down to one fire engine. Since we are a two piece engine company, the fire company decided to buy a used engine until we could get ours back. A committee was appointed and they went looking for a good used piece that would fit our needs. An engine was found in Strasburg , PA, for the price of $35,000. We would keep this engine until Engine 45 was repaired and back in service. This engine would be known as Engine 41.
After Engine 45 was repaired Station 4 operated three engines for awhile. In approx. 2002 or 2003 this unit was sold to a local Doctor from the area who collected Macks. In appox. 2003 New Franklin Fire Co. (Co. 17) started using this engine as Engine 17-1 becuase the sold their 1986 Pierce before thier new Engine came in and since they were short and engine Dr. Orange loaned them this engine until their new engine came in. It was lettered with New Franklin markings because they were using it for awhile. After their new engine came in this unit was once agian placed out of service and returned to its owner. As far as I know this unit is being kept at the Franklin County Public Safety Training Center in Chambersburg.
This unit is a 1972 Mack CF and has a 1000 GPM with 750 GWT.
