That explains it then. I thought Loyalsock had purchased it new.

A few more before returning to real life tomorrow (I've been in Kingwood, WV, at Camp Dawson...). I hope someone finds these interesting. The next few are from some more closed fire departments. I find these interesting but sad.



Boston, Elizabeth Township, Allegheny County

Attack 140

Subsequently used by Greenock, also in Elizabeth Townhip. I have heard it is now sitting outside at Bunola.

x Boston, Allegheny County

Engine 140, then Rescue 144

Also saw service at Greenock, and was relettered as you can see. I was sold to Clairton and may no longer be there.

Last one,

Stickney, Nanticoke, Luzerne County

This company was in the process of being shut down. The older gentleman looking at me stated this was the last event (6 County Convention in Nanticoke, June 24, 2006) they would be attending while in existance.

A good old American LaFrance.

The Pleasant Valley rescue is a Hamerly. Monroeville No. 3 replaced the mini with a 4-Guys mini.

I'm pretty sure this is 83N765, a 1983 Young Crusader II 1250/500/40F that was delivered to Bailey's Crossroads, VA and later served in Walnut Bottom, PA and Gilberton, PA and ended up in Burnettsville, IN. Maybe someone else can confirm.

Dave,



Not sure about the Gilberton part. I know that after Frazer Twp. #1 had it, it went to Gibraltar Fire Co. in Berks County, PA.

Pleasant Valley Rescue doesnt look like a Hamerly. Maybe a Bruco or Swab. Pleasant Valley DID have a Ford C/Hamerly top mount pumper. Maybe they painted it to look like the Hamerly pumper.



Also the Monroeville mini IS a Hamerly

That Pleasant Valley Ford C tandem still floating around somewhere?

Bill, the Murrysville rig was donated to the "infamous" Bakerton,WV VFD, it did not last long as it was stored outside and suffered pump/motor damage due to a freeze. There are probably pics of it on the Bakerton thread.

Good grief! This Ford C has a Swab body, one of the largest up to that time and one of the 1st tandem rears used by SWAB.

Delivered to Lorton,VA IN 1973, sold to O'Hara TWP. in 1988.Featured in books and magazines.

The Steelton Mack aerialscope is actually x-Harrisburg, the 1971 rig was sold to Steelton in rough shape in 1990, it was rebuilt by SFD members over several years.The story of this Mack is in Dave Houseal's 1st book, "We can see it from the bridge". Steelton does have an xFDNY engine.

This is how it looked in the late winter of 1992.

The Steelton Tower is still alive and kicking out in the Midwest. I believe it is up in Minnesota.

Is that the clown on the Steelton riig who claimed to be on the job 09/11? What a bozo if it is. Oh, and nice pic of that classic Mack.



Stay safe, Brothers.
Kill 'em all, let Allah sort 'em out. NEVER forget 9/11/01 WTC, Pentagon, Pa. Avenge the acts with NO mercy.

Thanks to ALL the Brothers who were there 9/11/01 and afterwards. Words can never say what appreciation we have for you all.
