You're right, Ed....I stand corrected. 57 years of twins....remarkable. Best of luck with the Seagrave.

This is a shot of No.4. It was originally chartered as the Lower Burrell Township Volunteer Fire Company No. 1. Back in 1931, New Kensington annexed a huge parcel and this fire company became Engine Company No. 4. This is the 1937 Ford and went on to serve until 1956. This was No.4's first station.

This is the 1970 CF Mack that Ed was talking about in an earlier post. Now owned by me.

Are you going to keep the murals? That's one thing that has always set that truck apart

Quote:Are you going to keep the murals? That's one thing that has always set that truck apartYes, The mural on the engineers side above the rear wheels is staying as well as the gold leaf emblems on the doors.

Nice addition to the fleet!

This became the fourth rescue to serve as Rescue 4. Built by Saulsbury. The tractor originall served the NY-NJ Transit Authority. Built for a fire department in Bucks Co. (name slips me). Served until 2009.

This 1989 Spartan/Darley from Roberts Park, Ill was the 5th piece to serve as Rescue 4. It had a 1,250/500. This replaced the "Beast" and went on to serve until 2012. It was sold to neighboring Arnold Company No. 1.
New Kensington, PA Bureau of Fire - OPEN CAB MACK - 11-30-2013
This 1991 Pemfab/Saulsbury was bought in August 2012 to replace the Spartan. This was built as a rescue pumper for Berwyn Heights, MD, then sold to Pleasant Gap, PA.

I think the big rescue came from Warrington, Bucks County. It's replacement is quite impressive too.
