Suedburg, PA had this beautiful 1954 Dodge/American LaFrance pumper. It had a 500 gpm pump and a 500 gallon water tank Bill Schwartz pic/Mattson Collection <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/usa.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Usa' />

Keystone State Relics - Rheems1 - 12-18-2006

[quote name='Dr. Stinebaugh' post='58716' date='Dec 14 2006, 21:00 ']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.[/quote]



Dr. Stinebaugh,



It has been awhile since I have seen this piece, but if my memory serves me properly... it is on the rear step up into the body. I only had a couple of minutes to look at the truck as they weren't friendly at Everett and were asking me to leave. I could be wrong on this, I am definutly no where close to perfect though.



[quote name='GA_Dave' post='58821' date='Dec 15 2006, 14:14 ']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]



After looking at that picture of it, you can indeed see the Hamerly logo on it.... I guess it was refurbed and that was removed. I questioned it being a Hamerly as well, but the guy who was showing me around said no it wasn't, it was an LTI. So that is what I wrote in and believed up to this point, it now serves the Lairdsville Fire Department in Lycoming County. I put a pic of it up under the Pennsylvania Fire/EMS thread and it doesn't have that logo on it.

Those are two different rigs! Check the canopy and jumpseat windows, they are different. If you check out the pics on Highspire's website, they had two Ford C pumpers. My money is on this theory: One was the Hamerly shown in the first pic, lettered for Highspire. The other is the older Ford C at Highspire, that was refurbed by LTI and sold to Lairdsville.

After a little more research, I found that the Lairdsville rig was previously painted blue/white with red stripes and white stars, before it was rebuilt by LTI. A study of the canopy revealed that the original rig was built by American LaFrance.

[quote name='radicalron' post='59581' date='Dec 19 2006, 01:50 ']Here is another 1959 Chevrolet/Howe 500 gpm pumper. It served Newtown FC [Reilly Twp, Schuylkill County] as a front line piece from December 1959 until sold to a private collector (yes, me) in October 2003. This picture is how it was outfitted when sold. This rig was originally numbered 665, but changed to 24-15 to conform with the county's modified numbering system. It was replaced by a 1978 Hahn that served neighboring South Cass Fire Company. The red "dog house" on top is/was for storage. The fire company removed the booster reel to mount it. Then then piped a a line that comes out through the the pump panel to fill Indian tanks. Photo by Dan Markiewicz.[/quote]
