This piece was sold by Everett to the York County, Pa Hazmat Team, it went by the designation HAMR 20 (all of the York County Hazmat units have the HAMR designation). From what I am told, it is in the process of being replaced or has been replaced already. I know that Braumbaugh Fire Apparatus is the same as a Bruco... but it was interesting to see the Brumbaugh logo plate on it... first one I have ever seen.

I know this piece looks like a Hamerly, but it is actually an LTI. I didn't know LTI built pumpers, but when I saw it.. it had the LTI plate on the back of it.

For those interested, this was originally Co.22 - Tuxedo-Cheverly VFC, PG CO. MD. (But did Mack build the body?? )
Also Rheems 1, where was the Brumbaugh logo on the xEverett squad? The oldest Brumbaugh logoed truck I have found is a 1940 Chevy squad truck for Lonaconing,MD.

To my knowledge, maybe Dave Organ can confirm, LTI was NOT building fire apparatus bodies, aerials or pumpers, in 1977. They utilitzed other manufacturers, then Conestoga for their bodies. LTI badged pumpers didn't start appearing in quantity till the mid 1980s. I cannot explain an LTI badge on the back of this rig - maybe a refurb?

The Highspire rig IS a Hamerly. The Hamerly logo can be seen on the rear compartment door. It was refurbed by LTI around 1990, as I recall, but I can't find the info with the exact year.

[quote name='dcfiremanjeff' post='45629' date='Oct 22 2006, 11:00 ']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='
