[color="#FF0000"]Penn Forest Township, PA had this Mack CF pumper. I think I may have shot this at some affair in Lehighton. Mattson Pic[/color] <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/usa.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Usa' />

[color="#FF0000"]This little Ford pumper from the 1940s was lettered for the Pond Hill-Lilly Lake, PA FC. It's nickname was "Swamp Robin". My question is, was this a real fire company or perhaps a buff organization?

<img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumbsup.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Thumbsup' /> Congrats,Scott! You did shoot a Stinebaugh!

1975 DodgeW-300 350/350 This started with East End VFC of Mahoning Twp. ( near Danville, Montour Co.) where it was painted white over dark blue! It was sold in 1987 to adjoining Valley Twp.,where it was sold again in 1998. Look for pics of this rig at both homes on pt. 2 of the Stinebaugh thread.

ONO,PA. Lebanon Co. 1963 FordC/ALF 1000/500 I got this 1 in 1996!

Scott,



Info on the Phoenixville ladder:



1969 Seagrave, K-series, semi-cab, 100 ft steel mid-mount ladder, cost $36,000, 5 KW generator. It was refurbed in 1986 in which it was painted LY and had a white cap installed. Housed 7/19/69. It was replaced in 1991 and the borough had a tough time selling it. It was finally sold in March of 1993 to Northeast Fire Apparatus for $26,154.



Love to know what happened to this rig.
