Liberty Ford unknown year and builder [/quote] http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?op=1&v...4168800411 I can't be certain, but the name plate on the door of the compartment looks like the style that Young used and that firebody does have a strong resemblance to Young.

Port Jervis , NY 1967 Ward La France 1000gpm - 500gal [/quote] For many decades, after the annual July parade, each company of PJFD took their guests back to their firehouse or other location for refreshments and after that most would "tour" the other 6 PJ firehouses plus Matamoras PA for more food and drink. I was fortunate enough to visit Delaware's old firehouse in the very early 1970's before it was replaced and demolished. One thing I remember is that Delaware Engine 2 was famous for its buttermilk served right from milk cans fresh from a local dairy. It was good.

Warwick NY - 1959 International / American La France - 65ft aerial [/quote] I think this truck may have spent time with Matamoras PA for awhile but don't know where it is now.

I think this truck may have spent time with Matamoras PA for awhile but don't know where it is now. [/quote] Yes , After Warwick retired this truck in 1981 , Matamoras purchased it and refurbed it into a quint. They added a 750gpm pump and 500gal tank and used it until about 1993 . The truck was then sold to Hemlock Farms PA and used for about five more years . After that I have no idea ?

Port Jervis NY - 1963 Mack B - 750gpm - 300gal [/quote] The old Excelsior Engine 5 firehouse, the one Port Jervis firehouse I was never in and never will because something happened between our fire companies back in the mid 1960's after the annual parade. Thankfully the problem has long been patched up but the firehouse has been replaced.
