Although this photo was apparently taken in the parking lot of Hershey Stadium, it is not a former Hershey rig. Not long after delivery of our 1976 Ford L/Swab rescue, members of the East Berlin FD visited our station. They were impressed with our new apparatus and had Swab build a similar, but smaller, version as a service truck. The lighting, paint scheme, and general design are almost identical to our former rescue. I have their apparatus listed as a 1977. Our 1982 Ford L/Swab air truck was about the same size body as East Berlin, but different in body style.
Our rescue went to Ottsville, Pa, and was repainted red and white. Last info I had, it was in service in Argentina. The air truck went to Coudersport, PA. I believe it has since been repainted red and white and is in Springdale, PA.
