I went home to PA this weekend for a wedding and happened to drive right through the line up for Vanport FD's 75th anniversary parade. The guys were very busy but paused to let me get a couple quick pictures.

Nice shots Adam! Vanport is on my list to do, but I don't think it will happen this year. Just saw today that they bought a new Ford/Sabre Squad as well.

The new squad is in but I only had time to grab a shot of it parked behind the station as it was busy running around town setting up. In other Beaver County news, Industry (St 97)got a new squad like Vanport's accept its a Dodge (rumor of a new engine soon) and Bridgewater (St 28) got rid of their mid 90's International/KME and baught a used Pierce (Dash or Enforcer maybe a 2003) that is lime green. Also, Brighton Twp's new Station 2 is in service and they baught Cannonsburg's old tower (96 Pierce) which should arrive in Nov or Dec...hopefully next time I won't be in such a hurry.

Saw this truck when it was only the cab and chassis, my brother I believe started building the pump on it at S&S. Funny, as he and I were talking about this truck the other day, I hadn't seen it finished. Thanks for posting this!
Nice work Adam, good to see you taking advantage of that shift work schedule <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

**The midship pump is used to transfer product from truck to truck and the pump mounted in the rear compartment is used to pump petroleum product from a truck into an onboard 250 gallon tank. This unit also has a 2 bottle cascade system, acid pumps, oil pumps, multiple pads and booms, etc.
Suspects ehh. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/stirpot.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> Glad you could finally come out and play with us. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumbsup.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

MDE Emergency Response is based out of 1800 Washington Blvd, Baltimore. If you are on I-95, Look for the large white 6-7 story building with "Montgomery Park" in BIG red letters. However, I am told that most of the vehicles including the one above are take home units so it can be hit or miss.
