The Rheems1 Photo Collection

[hungrybus]

I have the Gamber Dive Unit as 2007 International/Horton as told to me by one of there members, hope it helps.

[Rheems1]

Thank you for the updated information Kevin, I forgot to check back... I have now updated the information for the Dive Unit in my collection!

[Rheems1]

I took a little vaction this last couple of days, I didn't get much but here is what I shot!



Emerald Fire Department

Renovo, Pa

Clinton County



1979 Ford/Hahn Pumper 1,000/1,000

X- Little Creek, Del







2004 American LaFrance Pumper 1,500/1,250







1965 Pirsch Rescue Truck 1,000/1,000







The Pirsch is for sale, I really, really want to buy this piece but I don't think I will be able to afford it... so I am offering to anyone on here as well. They want $2,000 for it to a private collector, it is a really nice piece and it will make a nice collectable for someone. They are at the point that they are either going to sell it or scrap it soon. I am still trying to raise the funds necessary but I don't know how much luck I am going to have. Send me a PM for contact information about this piece!!



It is being replaced by this piece:

Did you look on the base of the officer's seat? That's usually where the numbers are, just like a Hahn.

See that is what I was thinking to, that was actually the first place I looked. There was no plate whatsoever, there was also no plate on the driver side except one proclaiming the cab or chassis was made by Ward LaFrance (probably the cab). There was also no tag on the pump panel so I didn't know where else to look so I just called it a lost cause and moved along.

This piece originally saw service as Engine 1 in Lexington,MA

Kimberton, located outside of Phoenixville. Upscale area, and they like to piss away money like crazy. Huge station, plenty of newer rigs, paid staffing during the day.



Just my observation!

Did they tell what the "M.F.G." on the front of the rig stands for? <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

Interestingly enough, they didn't mention it... and I didn't think to ask. So what does it stand for??

[GA_Dave]

Well, you know me, I just HAD to ask..... <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/banghead.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />



The G-rated version is "Mighty Fine Gentlemen".



The real meaning has to do with the color Green!

Mr. Rheems,



Right fire company, wrong piece. Kimberton is selling the following piece, which is actually ex. Spring Ford Rescue, which merged with Kimberton a couple of years ago, which was disolved last year, which made this piece available for sale. This transaction just happened this past Friday.

Braeview Fire Department

Lower Burrell Township, Pa

Westmoreland County



Ford/4-Guys Pumper







I am going to stop posting pictures for right now, I am sure that EMS12 will continue posting the rest of the pictures in his topic. I wanted to stop with this piece because it is one of my favorite (if not my favorite) pieces out there that I have photographed... I love these Ford Cargo chassis when used in the fire service!!

[/quote]

The Braeview engine will be sold shortly to Bethel Township Fire Department in Indiana County. The Braeview tanker was sold to Allegheny Township Fire Company No. 1, Westmoreland County Station 99. Tanker 99 was donated to Bethel Township Fire Department.
