Keystone State Relics - Guest - 02-09-2007 Keystone State Relics - Guest - 02-09-2007 Keystone State Relics - Guest - 02-09-2007 Keystone State Relics - Guest - 02-09-2007 Keystone State Relics - Guest - 02-09-2007 Keystone State Relics - Guest - 02-09-2007 Keystone State Relics - Guest - 02-09-2007 Keystone State Relics - GA_Dave - 02-09-2007 Quote:Coudersport, PA has this GMC/E-1 4x4 pumper. Looks as if it has 2 pumps. Because it does. Delivered with a midship 250 GPM pump, it was later upgraded by the addition of a 750 GPM bumper pump. Many years ago, when it was rather new, Don Loeb authored an article in Fire Chief magazine about this rig. Seems the smaller pump was adequate for car/grass/trash fires, but the larger pump and 4 wheel drive, allowed it to become an off-road water supply rig as well. Keystone State Relics - Guest - 02-09-2007 Item 1: Hummels Wharf, PA. 1974 Mack MB/89 Swab 750/500 xAvoca,PA., and orig. Roslyn,PA. 1977 Mack MB/Merritt Tank 4200 gal. rechassised in 96 with a 84 Mack MR. Item 2: Aultman, PA. located in very rural Indiana Co., the vfc had a firehouse blaze in the early 80's and lost everything - the 84 Ford L-8000/4-Guys 750/1800 was their 1st purchase after the fire. Now, about that brush truck; If you look carefully just above the Chevy logo on the side, you'll see that it's a BRUCO! <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/luxhello.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> This 68 Chevy Suburban 250/200 brush unit was orig. Indiana,PA. We reshot this co. last June, and I'm happy to say that the "rusty" Chevy has been repaired and the hard-working Aultman vollies have also got a 05 Spartan/ Crimson 1250/750 that is very attractive in all white/ red stripe scheme.

I was there also! The Morton Hahn was from McKinley Abington PA, Montgomery County station 200. One of two Hahns delivered. The other sold to Wagontown PA (Chester county) Keystone State Relics - Frank B - 02-10-2007 redundant! Keystone State Relics - Guest - 02-10-2007 The Aultman rig is truly unique for an American FD. I do remember some European rigs of the same style. Keystone State Relics - Guest - 02-11-2007 An update on the 2 Hummels Wharf rigs posted on page 52. The Tanker was just replaced at the end of 2006 with a new Mack Granite Tanker. I believe 4 Guys did the body work on the new Tanker. Also, the Mack Engine is still currently in front line service along with there other Mack Engine. They are both due to be replaced by twin Spartans. Looking back through this thread there are very few of these units actually still in service, so I thought it was cool to note the fact that these Macks are/were still running frontline into 2006/2007. Keystone State Relics - Frank B - 02-11-2007 Kimberton Fire company, Chester County station 61 Kimberton has a very nice Apparatus history section on there web page, when you click on the small truck thumb nails, a larger photo appears. Nice job Kimberton! <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/luxhello.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> [url="http://www.kimbertonfire.org/appHistory.htm"]http://www.kimbertonfire.org/appHistory.htm[/url] in service from 1957 to 1986, International R with a body made by A.W. Martin in Terryhill, PA. This unit had a 1000 gallon tank & a 500 gpm Hale pump. Jack Robrecht Photo Keystone State Relics - Frank B - 02-11-2007 Kimberton 1995 Ford F-450 Tac 61 230gwt 900gpm I shot this parked out back of the station a few years ago Keystone State Relics - Frank B - 02-11-2007 How can anyone forget the Mack L Snorkle? <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hail.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> 55 foot snorkel boom. The unit was purchased used from the Paoli Fire Co & served as the Kimberton Fire Co.'s first Truck Company. The unit was equipped with a 250 gallon tank & 750 gpm 2-stage Hale Pump. The unit was sold to the Forest Lake Fire Co where it continues to serve as a front line fire unit. 61-5 [color="#0000FF"] these photos are by an unknown (to me) photographer.[/color] Keystone State Relics - Frank B - 02-11-2007 Lionville Fire company, Chester County Station 47 1936 Reo (type ZL25)Chassis, Hale job# 3509 Dick Adelman Photo |
