What name does the fire company and/or municipality go by these days? The reason I ask is there is nothing listed in the US Fire Administration data base that I learned about thanks to another thread here at Firepics.

Unless Evans City had another similiar WLF this one also served with North Braddock VFD #3. It replaced their purple WLF. It was replaced by the Normalville KW/FMC, which was last engine to serve #3.

This rig came from Dunn Loring VFD in Fairfax County, VA. It was one of 2 1976 WLF's we bought - sold this one to Station 20 when we bought our 83 Seagrave. As far as I know Evans City had her in service into the early 2000's then not sure of where it went from there.

They still have this rig, I poke my head in the window every time I pass by on my way to Ricketts Glenn.

I was told they are associated with Aristes Fd(Columbia Co.),PA (to the north)

Looking at websites it looks like there are no people left in the town. How do they staff these, or are they paid, and if so, how? or why?
