Was this sold to Hazle Twp. PA in the late 80's early 90's?

No, Hazle Twp. had the former Newtown Fire Association's Aero Chief.

I never heard of Corry, Pa, so I put Google to work. On their website, they have 2 houses and run 2 pumpers (no truck) driver only after one of the drivers dispatches the alarm. WOW. Who answers the radio after the driver leaves? Is this a norm in this area? I know Reading has staffing issues, but this makes them looked fully staffed. What if no volunteers arrive at the scene? Are other departments on their boxes? Later.

bandit,



Corry has quite a few more rigs than you have listed. They have 4 engines, 1 ladder, and 1 rescue. I'm not sure what site you were at. I've posted a link to their station site below. It has photos.

1985 Ford C-8000/Bruco, canopy cab, 1000/750. This piece had a couple firsts in the company. It was the first unit ordered with a canopy cab and with the distinct paint scheme of white over "Smurf Blue", Cat 3208 diesel, automatic, 5 KW generator. Chassis purchased from Wolfe Motors of Lancaster. It was housed on 9/26/86 as an attack unit, but was converted to a rescue-pumper in 1990.
