[quote name='tascman' post='7508' date='Jul 11 2006, 16:16 ']Harmony Township, PA had this 1978 Mack R pumper that was equipped with a 1250 gpm pump and a 500 gallon water tank. Is this a 4-Guys? Mattson Collection[/quote]

Yes it is, if you look at the pump operators compartment door in the upper left, you will see the older 4-Guys emblem.

This is a squad from Highland Hose Comany No. 1 of Tarentum, PA. It had a removable canvas for the rear since it was semi enclosed.

[quote name='Rheems1' post='60009' date='Dec 20 2006, 15:32 ']I believe Latrobe bought that used rescue from Lorton, Va... not sure why that sticks out in my head... if it isn't that... it is in Fairfax County for sure and it sounds something like that.



On second thought, good chance it was from Luray, Va.

Before Latrobe #2 received this rescue, it was involved in an accident, a rollover if I am not mistaken. This needed to be repaired before Latrobe took delivery. It is an E\-One and on a tandem chassis with a small pump and tank.

The department put in for an A.F.G. in 2006. They were approved in 2007 and then the grant was revoked. There was an article in the paper about it. Rumors were out that some of the info on the application was falsified, that is rumor. Anyway the department ended up buying the Indiana rig. I was told the American LaFrance is still in the station out of service, that I am not sure of either.

This Engine was refurbed and cabinets were added where the hard sleeves were. It was converted into a rescue and ran as that until it was replaced by a new KME rescue engine in 2003 I believe. This engine was then sold to Applewold in Armstrong County.

It was then sold to another company. The following picture was taken at the big auto auction from the guy that had a crap load of fire apparatus in Pa. The only thing I can make out on the truck is Tower Hill No. 2, Engine 39.
