[quote name='OPEN CAB MACK' post='269806' date='Dec 31 2008, 07:07 ']As for the CF's, the chief at that time, Tom Kennelly was not a fan of the Mack CF. He served as chief from 1971-1980. He went to Quail Fire Dept. in Ross Twp. and looked at theirs and felt the cabs were too big and wasn't a big fan of it. That is why the "R" was bought.[/quote]
I have a distant memory as a preschooler of the "Chiefs" from Pittsburgh coming to Cranberry Township one day to see their new CF Mack engine. Best guess is that it would have been around 72 or 73. My dad was one of the few members that worked in the township during the daytime hours and I often spent time sitting on a bar stool while the trucks would roll out.
