Turtle Creek VFD Hendrickson/Grove ladder, believe it is a 1974 model. It is still in service with Turtle Creek but is now white. Anybody know who did the body? T.C. also had a Hendrickson/Howe pumper delivered at the same time, could the ladder body also be a Howe? this pic was also taken in a parade on Braddock Ave. in Braddock. This truck was damaged when a wall collapsed during a fire in Braddock years later.[/quote]
In August,1974, Turtle Creek paraded both of these rigs in the Western District Convention parade at Somerset,PA. I recall that they were mostly unlettered, and were quite impressive, as was the 6-hour parade itself. The combo of being 14 years old with an inadequate 126 size camera, means my photos are mostly good for inspiring memories... <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sleep.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='-_-' />
