Lebanon County Parade this past weekend (June 20th)

I spotted this unique home built hose wagon, Keystone H&L Fire Department Myerstown PA

The hose comes off like a lazy Susan, and they are conected from reel to reel (between layers)

I say, neet!

Frank, any truth to the rumor they are disposing of this rig? I would love to shoot it before it leaves.



Thanks for the pic!

Dave, you are probably right. KME built No. 6's air truck, No. 5's Engine and rescue. Kenco refurbed No.1's Pioneer engine back in 88 or 89, and built No.3's vent truck. The work on Engine 6 had to be after 1989. I went to college at St, Vincent, and No. 6 was at the school on the first alarm. The boxing gloves were removed when it was repainted.

I know they did a couple of years ago. I'm pretty sure they still do but not 100% sure.

87th annual Lebanon county Parade was short because of the rain. about an hour long, a member of Schaefferstown FD told me many more rigs were registered (by mail?) than showed up.

Not quite a Classic, this KME tanker was custom designed by the members of Schaefferstown

High side compartments, very large tank dump valves and large water tank make this fire department on wheels a truely unique rig!

Avon FD has this Hammerly that I did not know about.

Last time I checked they had two Hahn's

See the white rectangle on the rear compartment door, this is a Hammerly decal made out of Scotchlight.

Yes they do. It has Westmoreland County Station No. 117. Currently the engine is a CF Mack that was from Fox Chapel, and an in house tanker. They were posted earlier on this thread. I belonged when going to school there graduating in 1989. The engine when I was there was a 1957 American LaFrance 800 series.
