Well, it is nice to see the rigs of my hometown, I wish I would have known so i could have got you to all 5 atations. The 1970 Mack has been replaced on September 11th of this year by a 2008 Pierce Impel, a beautiful rig. This same rig was replaced on September 11th 2001. The Mack will become Engine 6, the second engine out of Station #1. It is currently at the body shop having some work done on the cab. Can't wait to get it back. Engine #5 has a twin at Ebgine #4. Service 5 was ex Slippery Rock and is not a Kenco. It may be a J.B. Rescue. I will find out. Service 2 is actually a second heavy rescue in our city. It is an ex-Deptford N.J. rescue. Just wish the rest could have been photographed. Alot of variety. The 60's & 70's saw Mack & American LaFrance ad the majority rigs in the city. Great shots Pat. When you come back this way, get a hold of me. I'll take you around.
