Krings is a suburb of Johnstown, PA in Cambria County. The vol. fire dept closed their doors sometime in the '90s. Comemaugh Twp VFD started operations in April 2010 with Ideal VFD about a mile from the former Krings station in Somerset County, thus the Somerset number. I did some Googleing for info on their rescue and found nothing. Bruce [/quote] The co. name was changed in the mid-1990's, the current rescue (1996 IH N/New Lex) was delivered w/Conemaugh Twp. lettering and black/red paint.They also got a pickup squad/utility in 2004. 
My photo of the rig as used in the New Lexington brochure.
Mechanical engineers build weapons, whereas civil engineers build targets.
When the man at the door said," Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms", I, naturally assumed it was a delivery!

Monessen had bought 2 Seagrave tillers from Pittsburgh. The last one bought was out of New Hampshire or Mass.
