Scott,
Additional info on the Springfield unit. I have never seen this with the Ford C chassis - thanks:
1968 Ford C/Bruco, full cab, enclosed walk-in rescue unit. Housed 9/21/68. Purchased by the township, equipped with large electric generator with high-intensity floodlights, it was refurbed and rechassied in 1983 with a 1982 Ford L.

Has anyone have been to Chaneysville, Pa fire station? I been up past it a long time ago when I use to be Scouts to go camping. It is up above Flintstone Maryland off of I-68 in Maryland.
You could get it from Beford, PA area as well. Never go tto see their apparatus but alwasy went by their station to get where we where going.

My dad and I have been there before to take pictures. They have 3 or 4 rigs. Whenever we were there they had a Ford C Engine and Tanker, but in 2002 they took delivery of a FL/E-One Tanker. Unknown if they have purchased anything since then.

' /> Hey jr. Shoop, when were you and sr. there? Me and Jeff Mogush stopped there on 6/26/04 after the Bedford VFD 200th anniv. parade, and had an "entertaining" 20 min. wait in the adjacent bar for the chief, who lived a few miles away.2004 roster:
1975 Ford C-900/Pierce 1000/1000 gas-powered w/straight pipes! Yow!
2003 FL M-2/E-1 500/2000
1951 Dodge PW 4X4/ FD built 250/200
2 ambos- 1 1970's Chevy 4x4 van, 1 1980's Chevy/ ? x- Bellefonte,PA.
While they have a huge 1st -due, mutual-aid usually comes to them, from either Bedford or Fulton in PA., or Allegany Co.,MD.
I have not heard of anything else joining the fleet.

Well lets see, the last time that I was there was over 3 years ago and the last time he was there was sometime in 2005.

I also spent some time in that bar room waiting for the driver to arrive. The multiple Rolling Rocks were cold.

I know you posted this last July but I am so far behind I am only now getting through some of these fabulous rigs. ( I hope no one else has already answered this...)
This is a John Bean Squad and Rescue Unit... I believe the lettering above the rear wheel well says "John Bean High Pressure Fog".
Only a few of these were sold... but were offered during the early 1960s. I only remember seeing one and that was behind the factory for service once. I remember it being gray and from Pennsylvania I believe. It could be this very one.
The claim for fame of these were they had the complete John Bean High Pressure Fog system... and a 300 gallon water tank. The hose reels were in the compartments behind the rear wheels.
The general line brochure from 1965 says "High presure fog fire fighter specially designed for rescue. Ample storage capacity with spacious weatherproof compartments. Has a 300 gallon self-contained water supply."
I don't know anything about the lights on the corners... but I do remember they were unique.
That was a long time ago.

[quote name='Galen911' post='82663' date='Mar 2 2007, 23:55 ']Definitely an FMC body and cabinetry but the control panel throws me off a little bit. Must have been a hybrid of somekind. Looks like it might have had hose reels at one time... which was standard in 1972.

Thanks Dave...
I'm trying to rearange some of my priorities so I can participate more. Firepics has meant too much to me over the years since those early days when only about 3 of us were posting and then only a few times a month. Thank you for your welcome back.

You could be very correct.
My guess is that it started out as a pure-bred John Bean but sometime during it's lifetime was refurbed at a local shop. I think the hose reels were removed and the Darley pump installed. All the mounting bolts around the pump panel area have been added... and are definitely not original from Bean\FMC.
A very interesting unit.

The second photo shows this ladder after a roof-addition and with a new color-scheme.

is this rig originally from the hendrickson fire co of lewistown. i know they had one pretty similar before the merger into union or united fire co
Keystone State Relics - Guest - 03-04-2007
Ward Engine,
Yes, the New Freedom IHC/ALF truck came from the Henderson Fire Co. of Lewistown, Pa. It was replaced with a Mack/Baker 75' from FDNY which was taken into the Merger of Henderson FC and Fame FC. The company is now known as United Fire & Rescue.
