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.[/quote]

I don't know if you have the #'s Mike, but I thought you might want them. This 1970 Mack was originally purchased by Lower Burrell #3 in 1970. They has 4-Guys refurb it in 1988. A complete new back end, 4 door cab enclosure, and the booster tank was increased to 750 gallons. The # is: CF 685F 10 1209. It was delivered in November 1970.
