Westerlo Fire Department, Albany County. Engine/Rescue 3920. 2007 ALF 1250(Hale)/1000/0

Protecting the home of Hannay Reels. Last year while on one of my day rides north on US 9W I decided to check out Westerlo when I saw that it was a left turn. Nice place in a very rural area with population of about 3500 on 58 square miles per US census. For years that I had seen Hannay's ads in Fire Engineering and Firehouse with their reels on most makes of fire apparatus I envisioned an urban or at least a suburban setting.

Just a little trivial coincidence in that I didn't review the update in this thread until 11/19 after I took a little spin through Monroe NY passing by Mombasha's firehouse.
