I took a little vaction this last couple of days, I didn't get much but here is what I shot!
Emerald Fire Department
Renovo, Pa
Clinton County
1979 Ford/Hahn Pumper 1,000/1,000
X- Little Creek, Del

1965 Pirsch Rescue Truck 1,000/1,000
![[Image: 003RenovoRescueTruck.jpg]](http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d102/Rheems1/003RenovoRescueTruck.jpg)
The Pirsch is for sale, I really, really want to buy this piece but I don't think I will be able to afford it... so I am offering to anyone on here as well. They want $2,000 for it to a private collector, it is a really nice piece and it will make a nice collectable for someone. They are at the point that they are either going to sell it or scrap it soon. I am still trying to raise the funds necessary but I don't know how much luck I am going to have. Send me a PM for contact information about this piece!!

Mr. Rheems,
Right fire company, wrong piece. Kimberton is selling the following piece, which is actually ex. Spring Ford Rescue, which merged with Kimberton a couple of years ago, which was disolved last year, which made this piece available for sale. This transaction just happened this past Friday.
