[quote name='tascman' post='11011' date='Jul 17 2006, 17:41 '][color="#CC6600"]The Eagle FC of New Hope, PA had this beautiful Ward LaFrance pumper. Perhaps Bruce or Al can give us the details on this piece.

Scott- Additional info:
1956 Ward LaFrance model 85T ser.no.3937 delivered new in July, 1956 to Eagle FC-New Hope (Bucks Co.),PA. The body was unique with its side compartmentation and 750/1000 capacity. Its weight eventually caused the station floor under it to deteriorate which required reinforcement and repairs. In 1982 it was donated to the Alsace Manor FC (Berks Co.),PA when their station burned down and most of their apparatus was destroyed. In 1985 it went to Ruscombmanor FC (Berks Co.),PA. In 1991 it went to a MS location. Can anyone tell us where?
