Keystone State Relics
The Union FC of Oxford, PA ran this Ford C/Pierce pumper that was equipped with an LDH hose reel. Mattson Collection





Scott - additional info:



1981 Ford C/Pierce, canopy tilt-COE, 1000/750. The unique feature about this unit is that it has a large diameter hose reel which holds 2000' of 4" supply line. It was delvd in 5/81 but not put into service until 11/81 because the company waited 5 months for the manufacture to correct an overheating problem which was not repaired properly until a TV community advocate intervened. It was involved in a accident on a ice packed road on 1/10/94 while responding to a working structure fire in Lancaster County. It rolled onto its side slightly injuring three firefighters. It was declared a total loss. The pump and hose reel were salvaged for the new rig. Engine 21-2.

I can help you out with this piece of information.... Sabula is just outside of Dubois off of Route 80. I never saw this piece, but they are currently running a big 4 wheel drive Seagrave Snorkel (like the one from Stockertown, Pa).

<img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/computer.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Computer' /> A few notes concerning the preceding:

Summerdale,PA. Feb.1992

1966 ALF 900 /1988 Interstate (ITE) 1250/600 XRochester,NY

1959 ALF 900 750/500 x Perdix,PA. nee Bressler,PA.

1979 Ford LTS/VanPelt 1250/1800 x-Elk Grove,California

1967 Kaiser Jeep/local 60/150

Hillers squad may be a 67 C-series

The Perkasie and Rockledge rigs were shot at the 1993 Rose Tree muster.

The Sabula rig is a 1967 Bruco/Hi-ranger and was xSpangler,PA. The photo was taken in the summer of 1989, I suspect at a Western PA. convention in Barnesboro/Spangler? It was replaced at Sabula by a 1974 FWD/Pierce/Snorkel 1250/300/55ft. x?,Illinois.

The 2 Seagrave classic engines are now out of service at S. Brownsville.
