Thanks for the corrections to some of my posts Richard, I knew your collection was used extensively for the book and I was unsure how many of the photos were taken by you. I tired to gauge by the year of the apparatus as to weather you took them or not.
Now on to today's only picture.
Oberlin Gardens Fire Company. Company 49. This company is no longer in service. They were a very small company in Swatara Township, Dauphin County. It was formed in 1953 and officially closed their doors in 1990. In that time they only had 3 rigs. The first was a 1941 American LaFrance which I have never seen a photo off. There next piece was a 1950 L-Model Mack which was posted earlier in this thread or in the Mack thread and that is the only picture I have seen of the Mack. There final piece was the following piece:
Old Engine 49
1963 Hahn
1,000 GPM/500 GWT
X-Engine 33, Colonial Park
"Photographer Unknown"
