The Signal 22 Canteen Unit serves Mercer Co. and the surrounding areas. They are a volunteer outfit and operate out of their quarters on So. Clinton Avenue in the City of Trenton. Their county radio designation is Station 722 so as not to be confused with Lawrence Road Sta. 22.

These next few pics were sort of funky, I had to battle with the rising sun to get them, my apologies. Here's Lawrenceville's (Sta. 23) American LaFrance telesqurt. This piece replaced a Pierce Arrow telesqurt. All of the company's apparatus match this cream-over-red livery as they have for many years.

Next up is Pennington Borough's Ladder Tower 51, a very angry sounding Simon Duplex Olympian/LTi. The picture doesn't show it well, but the rig is painted a sort of deep-mint, a characteristic of PFC's apparatus. Pennington is surrounded on all sides by Hopewell Township; the same goes for Hopewell Borough. All three municipalities make up what is called the Hopewell Valley.

The third fire station in the Hopewell Valley is the Union-Titusville Fire Co. & Rescue Squad (Sta. 53) on Route 29 in Hopewell Township, right on the fringe of Washington's Crossing State Park. The Delaware River is a stone's throw away from the firehouse which is located right near the sight of George Washington's crossing of the river on Christmas of 1776.
They run this sweet Pierce Enforcer rescue-engine.

Here's a Ford/PL Custom Medallion from the Nottingham Vol. Ambulance Squad (Sq. 111), not affiliated with the Nottingham Fire Company, though I believe they were one outfit a while back until about 1980 or so.

One of the guys from East Windsor RS had a good idea of getting all the ambos together for a group shot. Pictures were taken from the bucket of Tower 31, so here are a couple ground shots. Will post an aerial shot when it becomes available.
