Southern Chester County Rescue Association Dodge rescue.

This station is now closed.[/quote]





Just out of curiosity, any idea where the top pic was taken? That highway route sign in the background looks like either a New Jersey or Delaware route sign?



Also, for those of you not old enough to remember and wondering what Esso was, it was the predecessor of Exxon with the name change coming in the early 1970's.



I really love the old pics. Thanks.

Forgot to include info on the following:



Southern Chester County Rescue



1953 Dodge, full cab, enclosed walk-in utility body rescue unit. Purchased used from Philadelphia Electric in 1960 and repainted.



Clueless on who made the body on this ? Anybody have a guess ?

It was the American LaFrance CTC chassis... Only 4 others made it to the Fire Service. All 4 went to the FDNY 1982-3 (1- RESCUE 2, 1- Haz Mat 1, 2 Mobile Medical Units [AMBULANCE 1 & 2]). The rest were ALF garbage Trucks... As luck has it... MACK is now using the same CHASSIS!!!!

Lawrence Park still runs this rig, but the white part is now painted black. They also run a KME 75' quint and an LDV heavy rescue, both in the same red/black/red scheme. Lawrence Park is next to Erie, separated by the G.E. plant.

Tom- THe tanker at Polish American is a Ford C/Hamerly. Last I knew, Upper Salford had tried to sell this tanker but after receiving low offers, they decided to keep it as a back-up.

Here is the Lawrence Park ALF CTC tanker in its actual color scheme.
