A well-traveled Imperial is this 1970 Dodge W-500 4X4 that was originally a rescue with Manoa,PA.FD.A 250/300 pump/tank was added at a later date, along with the extended bumper with deck gun.

Besides serving Manoa from 1970-1991, it went from there to Honey Brook,PA. in 1991, then to Gibraltar, PA. later in the 1990's, and landed at York New Salem VFD in York Co.,PA. in July 2000.

Found some old parade pics of Imperials. East End FC of Catasauqua, PA Eng 213 was a 1973 Imperial D12 1500/500. Looks like an awfully big rear to only be 500 gals., but that's what I have.

[taurudak]

The former Elverson FC in Chester Co, PA (after a merger now known as Twin Valley) had this 1970 Ford C900/Imperial 250/2000 which ran as Tnk 325. Now this rear end doesn't look big enough to be 2000 gals., but again that's what I have. Corrections always welcome.

[taurudak]

St. James FD in Suffolk Co, NY Eng 431 was a 1973 Imperial D-12 1250/1000.

[taurudak]

Green Lane FC of Montgomery Co, PA Eng 4222 was a 1973 Imperial D-10 1000/500.

[taurudak]

Magnolia VFC of Kent Co, DE Eng 555 was a 1973 Imperial D-10 1000/1000.

[taurudak]

And the Winterstown FC of North Hopewell Twp, York Co., PA ran this 1972 Imperial 1000/500 as Attack 45. They obtained this from Hauppage, NY.



And then my slide scanner broke!!!
