We currently have 3 rigs for sale.  Ex Engine 5, the 1986 Kenworth/FMC.  It is inside at Station No. 5.  Old Air 1, I have that at a garage at the water authority.  Ex Rescue 2, It is currently at Arnold No.  These are all for sale.  Also, Ex Engine 4 will be on its way south of the border, going to Mexico.

    Also arrived this past Saturday, what will become Engine 6.  1991 Mack CF/E-One 1,500 gpm Hale 2-stage/750 gwt.  This was donated to us by the Barren Hill Fire Co. of Whitemarsh Twp. Montgomery County.  Another great addition to the fleet.

Enjoyed rig fotos of New Kensington FD!  I was a Berkley Hills Fire Company (Ross Twp - Allegheny Co.) F/F back in the late 60's.  Remember a few of the rigs from the many firemen's parades in the old days.

A shot of Engine 1 at a 2 alarm commercial structure fire in downtown in May of 1980.  This served from 1960 until September of 1990.  It was sold to Lower Burrell No. 1 and repainted a bright yellow.
Great picture are those the old MSA Helmets? That reminds me of my dad's old Helmet.

Hey thanks I thought so. You know guys like my father and others that fought fires with smaller rigs and without all of the standard gear of today are all fantastic I have often wondered what they could have done with the rigs and equipment of today.
