[color="#FF0000"]Scott, Great photos![/color]



Pine Grove purchased this truck used,

I think it was from Hampden Twp Fire Company in Mechanicsburg PA, Cumberland County.

Ogden still owns the American LaFrance, and the Deluge Master is owned by a past Chief of Neffsville, Laverne Stauffer



Also A factory photo of the McKinley 1960 Mack B95 #1175, built at the Hahn factory

Hampden Twp 69 Hahn Ford F-850 1000gpm-750gwt

I have the McKinley rig as being sold to East Lansdowne-the rig that was posted with the mysterious 3 owners. Is that correct? I'd love to take a shot of the rig now!

Info I have shows that it went from McKinley to Millbourne to East Lansdowne to the current owners. It's about 100 miles from you. The biggest problem might be getting it out of the barn. Just don't go upstairs or you'll never want to leave........
