So that's the one on the old Buck Gladhill farm? I do have a pic of that from over 20 years ago, and it looked beyond saving then.

Twice then Shepherdstown has gotten an old aerial from Martinsburg, since they ran this rig's replacement until just a few years ago. Martinsburg's 85' Mack C was delivered in 1961, so that would place this photo in the early 60's, as the next piece for Shepherdstown was a 1964 IH/American.

1928? ALF TDA 75', Martinsburg,WV, 1928-1961, then to Shepherdstown, OOS - 196? then to Gladhill farm,Damascus,MD.



Replaced by 1961 Mack C 85' MM, the Mack served MFD until 1989, when it went to Shepherdstown until 200?. when SVFD got their current Pierce quint.

40 years service from both vehicles between 2 depts. ain't bad...
