Excellent...Thanks for straightening me out! No wonder I couldn't find in on my WLF list. Thought the guys up there might have had the original owner wrong. It happens.

Obviously not original to Mahaffey (it isn't orange!). Any idea where it came from?

This engine was replaced in 2009 by a Seagrave Marauder II. This was through an AFG grant. As always, Monessen is keeping this rig as part of there collection of their other rigs.

Looks like Ex-Newtown Fire Association/Langhorne Middletown Fire Company, Bucks County PA to me, although I could be wrong.

THANK YOU - YOU FOUND IT!!!! (well I have been looking for where this went for 2 years)
This rig was Bradley Gardens, Bridgewater Twp Fire District 2, in Somerset County, NJ. Station 21 ran this until 2001-2. It was replaced by an Emergency One shortly after 9-11-01. I forget when it left Bradley Garden's hands. I was hoping to get photos BEFORE it left.... BUT missed it. I will past this on to the members. My Fire Dept is in the Next Town over.

Thank you so much for the information. It always amazes me where rigs end up. She is still in excellent condition and runs great. Would you like me to e-mail photos? Send me an IM with your e-mail and I will be happy to send them your way.
Stay Safe,
Rick
