Dave,
I have to agree with you. I just watched the news video myself, is such a damn shame to see to pieces of fire company history, and pride in shambles. I hope that the brotherhood of volunteers in this state and others will reach out and help.

[/quote]Well, it is nice to see the rigs of my hometown, I wish I would have known so i could have got you to all 5 atations. The 1970 Mack has been replaced on September 11th of this year by a 2008 Pierce Impel, a beautiful rig. This same rig was replaced on September 11th 2001. The Mack will become Engine 6, the second engine out of Station #1. It is currently at the body shop having some work done on the cab. Can't wait to get it back. Engine #5 has a twin at Ebgine #4. Service 5 was ex Slippery Rock and is not a Kenco. It may be a J.B. Rescue. I will find out. Service 2 is actually a second heavy rescue in our city. It is an ex-Deptford N.J. rescue. Just wish the rest could have been photographed. Alot of variety. The 60's & 70's saw Mack & American LaFrance ad the majority rigs in the city. Great shots Pat. When you come back this way, get a hold of me. I'll take you around.

I don't believe it is. This engine was actually in East Vandergrift. It was Westmoreland County Station 72. It was merged with Vandergrift #1, Station 51 and the engine housed @ Vandergrift #1. It was recently donated.

You are right it is 110'. Not long after they received it, it came in contact with wires and burnt the tires. It does work alot. A great bunch of firefighters in Vandergrift.
