Notes on the Hershey apparatus:
1969 Hahn--Went to the Four-C FD in Arab, Alabama. The last photos I saw of it in service there still had the Hershey lettering on the front.
1978 Pirsch--This was operated by the Lebanon County, PA Department of Emergency Services Hazmat for several years. They repainted it blue and white to match their other rigs. Sold to a farmer in York County, PA, reportedly to use for spraying. Offered for sale on e-bay last year, but apparently not sold. Seen by one of our members in a barn in York County about two months ago.
1980 Snorkel--Sold to the Liberty FC of Lykens, PA and then to the Lyons Fire District in Colorado where it was repainted red and white. I had noticed it for sale again, but have not determined its current location.
Photos of the Pirsch in Lebanon and the Snorkel in Lykens can be seen in the Hershey Classics gallery at Firewagonphoto.com.
