Info on this rig. Most likely the only true fire tanker National Foam built.
1960 International B-series/National Foam, full cab, 750/1500, tandem axle pumper-tanker. It was destroyed in a accident in 1985 while enroute to a local parade when it went down a hill and lost its brakes and crashed. It was left outside for awhile, but is was finally sold to a local scrap yard and cut up.

Engine 69 in Lower Burrell was a 1970 Mack CF 1000/750. John Schmidt photo.
It looks newer than from 1970, maybe a major rehab ?

It was a 1970 CF, with a major rehab in 1988 by 4-Guys Fire

It was both Vandergrift Foxes, Highland Hose from Tarentum, and Apollo #2's
We have a few photos of it... I will get it scanned and get it into here.

Is there a chance i could get a hi-resolution scan of a few of them pictures. I got a copy of the one from New Ken 2 and the one off of this website and were comparing them, and they look like the exact same picture. But the big issue is that both pictures have different truck and company names written underneath them. The one on this site says, Tarentum, Apollo, Vandergrift #1, Vandergrift #2, and Tarentum. The one at No. 2 goes Turtle Creek, Apollo, Vandergrift (George McMurty), Vandergrift Heights, and Parnassus. The reason i am asking is that i am trying to do a history project from the tri-city area, so i am trying to get it right. Thanks!!!!!

[size="5"]Great shots of Engines 13 & 4. All city engines during that time were purchased "open cab". The drivers of Engine 13 has a special fund in house. They paid the extra money for the closed cab, making it the first one in Reading. [/size]
[size="5"]Engine 4's rig would be the last for the company as they were disbanded in 1969. The number 4 would remain as a reserve number until the late 70's when the last reserve engine 4 was placed out of service. The number has not been used since.[/size]
