1927 International/Boyer. Midway Fire Company, although they have a Hanover mailing address, it actually in Adams County, not the boro of Hanover. Purchased from Arendtsville Fire Co in 1956, also in Adams County. Midway still owns this piece and another pumper but do not repond to calls as the township that they are in has removed they as an emergency service provider.
