[/quote] Good Intent fire Co closed several years ago, after a fire that did severe damage to the social club and apparatus bay. The ladder, as I understand had been impounded a long time ago, after it fell at a fire. unknown what ever came of it.

How do they staff these, or are they paid, and if so, how? or why? [/quote] There are still 8 people living in the Boro of Centralia. The state just recently has renewed its efforts to clear the town completely. Besides the fire station, there are only about 5 houses and a 3 bay garage building left.

I believe that they do respond, because you said so, but I am curious HOW they respond. This answers some of those questions (that firefighters respond from other areas.) The saga of this town is interesting, and the fact that somehow there is an FD that still exists is even more interesting.

Keystone State Relics - LarimerSta1 - 04-18-2010 Hyde Park, Westmoreland County, PA Engine 53-1 Ford C/Howe This was their first-due engine until the early 2000s. It was replaced by a Pierce from LaMott, Montgomery County. It met its fate at the Pechins Auction. Keystone State Relics - LarimerSta1 - 04-18-2010 Elizabeth, Allegheny County, PA Tower 139 Ward LaFrance/Grove 100' I know Elizabeth was at least the 2nd owner of this. Keystone State Relics - Guest - 04-18-2010 Elizabeth's tower served Duryea Fire Co. in Luzerne County. When they took delivery of their new QRS unit, they must have traded this in. I saw it sitting at the Ford Dealership in Blairsville the one day I was out. Not sure what happened to it after that, because it is not there anymore.

Stickney Hose Company - Nanticoke, Luzerne County, PA American LaFrance 900 I believe the event I took this picture at (6 County Parade in 2006) was the last event Stickney attended. Reading back through the board I believe it was donated to Newport Township. All "decked out" |
