Has taken me well over two days to go through this thread and I must say that there were a lot of nice rigs in here. I have a rather large collection of old apparatus from Dauphin County, Cumberland, and Perry Counties that I will post over the next few weeks.
Now in regards to some pictures that I saw posted.
The Orange and White Rescue from Halifax was owned by the Halifax Area Ambulance and Rescue Association. I run with this organization. We were the first and last strickly ambulance comapny in Dauphin County to run a rescue (the other being Hummelstown). The rig is a 1979 Chevrolet with I believe a Reading Box on the back. In 1995 the Box was remounted on a 1995 Ford chassis. It was sold in 2000 to a member of the company to use as his work truck.
Squad 40 in post #1855 is from the Paxtang Fire Company of Dauphin County before it was repainted red. It is a 1973 C-Model Ford/Swab.
Truck 48 in Post #1867 was a 1980 Pierce/Hendrickson. Sold to Lykens and Lykens just sold it to the Lyons Fire Protection District of Lyons, Colorado
