Rich, I can't answer that?
Chester PA 1956 Mack B85 #1191
It was owned by Franklin Fire co in Chester Delaware County(one of 5 volunteer fire companies) station #27. Now closed, this photo was taken at Felton Fire co (Chester city, Delco station #30) I assume it was purchased by them after Franklin closed. The 1951/1952 Mack L was owned by Good Will, also from Chester, Delco station #31 it has a Maxim 75' aerial I do not have a good photo of this rig.
