It's Allegany County in Maryland, Allegheny County is in PA. or VA.

When in Cumberland, go to the top, or whoever is OIC. The 2-man crew of E-3 also mans a medic, that's probably who you talked to.

CFD's tower is a 1992 Sutphen 1750/300/90'

Where was Bowling Green's Quint-Rescue?

Cresaptown's Pierce Lances are a 1989 1250/1000, and a 2000 1500/1000/40; the squad has 250/300/20

Westernport's rescue is a RSI (Rescue Systems,Inc.); the brush was originally built by Bruco.

The green ALF Pioneer is a 1968 750/500, xBowling Green,MD. and it belongs to the TOWN of Westernport (no boroughs in Maryland).

Interesting that you skipped over the banana yellow co. (Rawlings) and the white w/red-yellow stripes co. (McCoole)

Maybe next time you can take a native guide, or even buy 1 of my books. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />[/quote]





Warren,



Christ Jesus.... I have this crap all screwed up (though the stuff at Cresaptown was not my fault... that is what I got from the guy pulling stuff out). Starting from the top:



I get nervous talking to OIC type people.... I will remember that for next time though (if I don't take you with me).



The Quint-Rescue was being worked on by the guy from Sutphen. A MFRI instructor was teaching a class with it and smashed the side of the cab with the boom... I guess Sutphen did not install a sensor or something... so they were in fixing it.



I had no idea who built the body on the rescue truck in Westernport, I was guessing at it from the look of the design. I had NO idea the brush truck had Bruco's hand in it anywhere... it was nice stuff. So it is the town of Westernport...... you can tell I am from Pa can't you LOL?? That ALF was in poor shape... the valve covers were off on each side of the motor and it was exposed to the weather. What a shame!!!



As for skipping.. not me Warren.. I don't skip ANYTHING.... there was no one around banana yellow Rawlings' firehouse and I didn't see any blue lighters in the trailer park across the street or in the town itself (what little I could find of it.. speaking of finding.. did you know that Rawlings has/had 2 sirens???). I found someone at McCoole who informed me that it is against company policy to pull stuff out for pictures and that he wouldn't do it. I also visited Keyser, WV (what a nightmare station location.. I have no idea where I could put stuff for pics), Bloomington, MD (there wasn't a soul around... what great pictures THAT would have made), Piedmont, WV (I didn't want to get out of my car... that town is WIERD!!!), Barton, Lonoconing, and Midland. I tried to get in to see the town of Luke Fire Department but it is inside the damn paper mill and they told me that I had to arrange it with their PR person because there is a no camera policy... blah blah blah... yadda, yadda, yadda. My last stop for the day was Frostburg, I was just in time for the 6:05 siren test which was awesome... I am guessing that they have a 16 port Sterling at Station 1 in the bell tower. For in case you are wondering Warren.. I found all of the sirens in town (the GCS Model 5 at Station 2, the Sterling up on the hill by Station 1 and the unknown thing behind the mini-market on Grant Street. Speaking of sirens... here were all of my sirens for the trip!!!
