perkasie pa cf mack, information i have is this was destroyed in a fire???[/quote]



Tom: additional info:



1974 Mack CF-685-F10 1000/750. In 1995 refurbed by 4-Guys. This was NOT the CF destroyed in the fire. On 6-28-88 there was a conflagration in Perkasie which started in a lumber/coal yard when kids were playing with matches. Perkasie's 1977 Mack CF was incinerated in that incident.

Tom,



Additional info:



East Whiteland



1980 Cheverolet/Pierce - mini-pumper, 400/250/20, 4X4 with a PTO pump, and front ground sweeps. The unit was

purchased for $40,440. It had a 4-speed with a 350 CID engine. It also had a Rockwell Foam eductor.

It was used as a initial attack piece when it was first bought, then as a field piece, and it was

converted to a rescue truck a couple of times when the 1982 Hendrickson/Grumman/Howe rescue-pumper was out of service for a extended period of time. It was housed on 6/26/82. It was sold to a dealer in Texas in 1986, who sold it to a company in Mexico.



I cut my teeth on this truck when I first entered the fire service - ran many a call on the back holding on for dear life - almost landed in the hose bed going over bumps in the road - those were the days !



Sharon Hill



1971 Hahn 78, Cincinnati canopy cab, 1000/500, model C-10, delivered 4-29-71, first unit ordered with a canopy cab and the new paint scheme of white over red, body had high side compartments on both sides, Detroit diesel, automatic transmission, in 1988 sold to a dealer in TX.



West Lancaster



1964 Ford C950/Barton-American, canopy cab, 1000/1000, sent to Wilson Fire Apparatus of Ft. Smith, AK. in 3/80 for a

total refurb which included the following: installing multiple reels for supply and attack lines, replacing the steel water tank with a stainless steel one, all steel diamond plate replaced with aluminum diamond plate, sandblasting and total repaint, returned 10/80, then it was sent to Conestoga Products in 1/81 for additional work which was completed in 3/81. Total cost for the entire project was $40,000. It was sold to Northeast Fire Apparatus who sold it a company in New York in 1991. It was originally purchased through the Glen Culbert Company for $14,298 and had a 534 CI motor and a 5-speed transmission.

here are 2 more hahns for you. kingston borough pa engine #2 luzerne county ran this 1974 hahn 1000gpm 500gwt until 1997 when the borough changed vehicles around making this engine 1 and the 1985 hahn that was engine 1 to engine 2. it was at this point engine 1 was primarily used for ems or reserve status. also the volunteer company names ie. columbian or independent were no longer on the apparatus doors. the apparatus was and still is owned maintained and operated by the borough. this hahn went through much pride to its members as they installed the air horns, additional rear discharge ,crosslays,removed booster reels,and prepiped a wagon pipe on it. this engine suffered heavy damage in late 80's when a driver had a fatal heart attack while enroute to a chimney fire. while it was being repaired it had hose bed sides extended to carry more hose,it also had the air pack bags placed on the side where hard tubes are leaving 1 tube on the apparatus,since its rarity to draft in our town.it was retired in 2006 and sold to a local contractor whoplanned on using it to wet down debris while demolishing buildings
