[quote name='Crossbronxxpress' post='68484' date='Jan 17 2007, 20:26 ']I can remember seeing one of these rigs as a reserve rig, in a Philly firehouse when my father took me buffing with him one time in the very early 80's. I was VERY young at the time, but i remember it like it happened yesterday.[/quote]
Marc, I too remember seeing a few on "Family Trips to Philly". In the 70's we visited the Mint and the whole area near Center City - (Remember when you could see Wm. Penn BEFORE other buildings were allowed to be TALLER then City Hall?!). I remember stopping at Sqt 8/Snk 2 and Eng 1/Lad 5. Then I remember the good Old days for the Philly Muster down on Delaware Ave, putting a stream or tow out around where Dave & Busters is now...
While Not PFD, this pump and trailer was assigned to the Philly Navy Yard. I have no info to go with the slide that my Dad took. It was at the Muster on Delaware Ave in the 70's or 80's.
