Well if it wasn't.... it is sure missing a good oppertunity!! I am thinking that GA Dave is going to be right here though.... the gold wheel trim is a dead giveaway.... LaMatt is one of the only departments I have seen that uses the gold wheel trim. That is a nice looking engine.... not sure how I missed this department when I was in Jermyn...... I thought that the Crystal was the only department in town...guess I was wrong (though the town only has 3,000 people at most... I guess it warrants 2 firehouses).

Yes, it is ex-Lamott, does anyone know if they still run the Pierce chemical unit that replaced this one? I want to say they replaced it too in the past few years.

jermyn pa artisian fire co lackawanna county ran this engine dry chemical unit[/quote]



Additional info:



1971 Intl CO-8190/National Foam 1000/500/500. Purchased new by LaMott (Montgomery Co.,PA which had a heavily traveled section of Route 309 in its service area. It was anticipated that should there be an accident involving a gasoline tanker or a haz-mat incident of another type, this unit would be what they needed to combat it. It carried 1000 lbs. of dry chemical. It was sold in 1982 to Artisan-Jermyn (Lackawanna Co.),PA. Its replacement was a 1982 Pierce Arrow with similar capacities. These units were designated as "Chemical 2" in the Cheltenham Twp.Fire Dept. In 2003 the Pierce was sold to a Guatamala location. At that time it was decided that LaMott could operate without a unit with these specifications and that a more multi-purpose apparatus would be more functional therefore a Pierce Dash and Enforcer were purchased each with a smaller foam tank.
