I heard a good one tonight. When the crew of Ladder 5 was changing over to the spare ladder they found the wallet of one of the idiots who was jumping on the apparatus. They turned it over to the PPD. This should be interesting.

Volunteer Firefighter Busted In W.S. Celebration

PHILADELPHIA (CBS 3) ― An Upper Darby volunteer firefighter has been arrested after being accused of jumping on board a fire truck during a Phillies' World Series celebration.



Philadelphia Police said Robert Smith is one of 200 people captured on home video swarming the truck on Broad Street October 27.



Officers were able to identify Smith because they found his wallet on the truck.



Investigators are also searching for another man who was photographed vandalizing a flagpole at Broad and Walnut Streets the same night.

It had better be good if you've been doing this sort of thing for nearly 20 years!

I was just paying a compliment I wasn't questioning how long you have been taking photos I didn't mean anything negative, again nice shot I meant its not easy to get a nice staged shot of Philly apparatus.

I had heard Engine 41's WLF was sold to somewhere in Bensalem Twp. PA and they rebuilt it into a low-profile tele-squrt.

If I am not mistaken, two Wards were sold to Eddington fire co. in Bucks co. they were completely refurbed, one with a squrt, both painted lime green. Can anyone confirm this ?

[Guest]

As far as I know, Eddington ordered their two Wards brand new, and they were eventually refurbed with E\-One bodies.

[Guest]

Sorry for the poor shot.



This was taken when I was 8 or so...

Delaware Ave Muster back in the 80's.



Looks like a post 76-77 WLF Cab.

PFD's Wards were rust buckets by the time they were removed from service so I really don't think that a department would have been nuts enough to buy two of em.....
