A well-traveled Imperial is this 1970 Dodge W-500 4X4 that was originally a rescue with Manoa,PA.FD.A 250/300 pump/tank was added at a later date, along with the extended bumper with deck gun.
Besides serving Manoa from 1970-1991, it went from there to Honey Brook,PA. in 1991, then to Gibraltar, PA. later in the 1990's, and landed at York New Salem VFD in York Co.,PA. in July 2000.
