First went there on a job-hunting expedition back in the early 80's, the Alf rearmount I believe was the newest piece. Their engines at that time were several GMC/Pirschs (both conventional and tilt-cab), a Mack B-model, and a FWD conventional. There was also a Ford or Chevy/Pierce mini-pumper/rescue, painted white. They used to have a pretty good website with history, if anyone is interested. Sure wish I had been armed with a camera back in those days <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/banghead.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> Thanks for your efforts as always, Mike!

I think that Shaun Ryan was 1 of the few people who photo'ed the Alf when it was still an aerial, he used to offer a set of Morgantown photos, and a couple appeared in 1 of Jurgen Keifer's books.

Hey Doc,

I recently heard Morgantown Hospital was looking for a top notch surgeon.

Those Morgantown GMC'c were replaced by some International/Pierces. Also, I'm not sure if they still have it, but they ran a 1978 ALF century pumper

as E5 that came from Swissvale & Braddock, PA.

I guess you didn't make it out to Garrett County last Sunday? Was pretty cloudy over here on the eastside of the state.
