This is a 1970, delivered in December of 1970, It replaced Lower Burell No. 3's B-Model, which they kept at that time. It had a 1,000 gpm Waterous 2 stage, 500 gwt with the typical Mack canopy cab, serial no. CF 685 F10 1209. In the spring of 1988, it was sent to 4-Guys for a refurb. A 4-door cab enclosure, new stainless steel fire body, new pump panel, generator and scene lights, warning lights and an additional 3" rear discharge. This remained in service until replaced on September 11, 2001 by a Pierce Dash. It was sold to the City of New Kensington in November of 2001 and placed in service at Engine No. 2. It was replaced on September 11, 2008 by a Pierce Impel. It is currently undergoing some minor body repairs and will be the sencond engine out of the downtown station in New Kensington.
