Hey everyone !!!

I have been trying to get this started for several days and finally have a couple of minutes so I'm going to start this thread like before of everything I find in travels.

Here's Glen Moore,Pa.'s Pierce Enforcer 1750 gpm pumper.

Actually, according to the Sept issue of Fire Apparatus and Emergency Equipment News Magazine, they bought this used from another dept. I seem to recall seeing a pic of it posted on the yahoogroup a while back. I'll check my files and see if I can find the info on it about who the previous owner was.

Ok, my bad! LOL I got it confused with this one. Credit to the original photographer.

Lackawanna Fire Department

Lackawanna, NY



This rig is a dead ringer for the 1968 ALF that served Dunkirk, NY from 1968-1991. I don't recall Lackawanna having one back in the day, they ran a Snorkel. It's possible that they bought the old Dunkirk ladder for a reserve.

Bethany Beach bought both units new,the Sky -Arm posted took the place of another Sky -Arm that they had numerous problems with and Pierce thought that the newer electronics would take care of most of the problems,they have no complants so far.After delivery of the original Sky-Arm the department saw the need for a smaller aerial and then bought the 75' quint.

Looks like it's to clear the tank access on the top of the body behind the pump panel.

[dawson_fire]

I know that the truck is a "Side stacker" and it may have been to make the compartments a little bigger,every inch counts!!!

Tonight I'll start off with Wrightsville,Pa.'s 1995 Seagrave 1500gpm 1000gal 30 foam.



Terry

[dawson_fire]

Wrightsville also runs this Ford quick response unit(no other info).



Terry

[dawson_fire]

Their newest engine was spec'd out by the Oxon Hill,Md. volunteers but they could not secure funding for the truck and it was then sold to Wrightsville.



Terry

Here's the other side of the truck which has a 1250gpm 500gal tank.The 2005 rig carries job# 78C46 and I think this was my best shot of the day!
