This Dodge rescue truck was later sold to the New Kingstown Fire Department, it was than sold to the Chambersburg Fire Department and than after that God only knows where it went. Nice looking truck though!!!
This is the 1982 Mack MC that served Lower Burrell No. 3. This was Engine 3 and served until it was replaced in 2007. It was sold to the town of Cabrera in the Dominican Republic.

It went to the Friendship Fire Department (McKinley Street Station), I can recall seeing this piece sitting in the station and them telling me it was from New Kingstown. As far as I know they were running it as an air truck but it has been so long ago since I was there when it was. There is a possiblity that this was the ever elusive Air 10 from Franklin County (a piece whose location I sitll have yet to track down although I just sent them to a working fire the other night).

Friendship in Chambersburg had a 1971 Ford L-800/Gerstenslager from Red Lion in York Co. They bought it in 1989,replaced it around 2000 with a 1980 GMC/RSI mini, x-Boonsboro,MD, and orig. Harper's Ferry,WV.
The Dodge/Swab rescue that Nollie posted (#4828) appears to be the same as the Mechanicsburg -New Kingstown.
Air 10 for many years was a 1971 Ford step-van painted white/slime, it was replaced in 2000 with the 1980 GMC/Pierce, xWash. CO.,MD. they still have.

Hey, nobody mentioned that I called the Mechanicsburg Dodge a IH[/quote]
I saw it Frank but I wasn't going to correct it since I am sure you picked it up after you posted it, we all knew what it was <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />. It is a nice looking rescue truck though...I really like those Dodges. I had my eye on a Dodge, even had the fire department agree to call me when they were selling it... but a certain someone happened to swoop into the Boro of Summerhill before they called me... the person shall remain nameless but I know who he is and I have already wished a mouse the size of an elephant to sit on his birthday cake. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/lol.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol2:' />

"mouse the size of an elephant", must really grow them big in PA! Glad I brought the truck south!
In my defense they did have the truck on eBay twice without any bids.......
Truck & owner leaving before the "Big Mouse" shows up:
It is. This rig was built by a subsidiary of ALF, the Herman Body Company, in 1962. Herman built at least three others like it, a 1959 for Kings Park, NY, and a pair of 1961's for Northumberland and Lehighton, PA, one of which later went to Skippack.
