Old Engine 52

Last I had heard this was still around in private hands.

Is West Side Hose the company that hosted that super big "farewell" party on Friday night of Fire Expo this year? I met a lot of guys from New Jersey on Saturday who were telling me about one of the Steelton fire companies that merged, sold the firehouse and property that the company had owned, so decided to blow between $50,000 and $100,000 on a farewell open house that outdid any parade or wetdown they had ever attended. They said the food and beer just kept coming all evening!
