[quote name='taurudak' post='330507' date='Aug 18 2009, 19:49 ']More negatives from a parade in Burlington City a long time ago. Tried to dress them up a little. Thanks guys for the input on the last ones. Some of these really need some info.



Delran X-Eng 2022 is a Seagrave.[/quote]

Engine 2322. I believe it is a 1973. Later run by Brevent Park-Leonardo FC in Middletown, Monmouth County.

This is the oldest continuously used active volunteer fire company in the United States. It was organized in 1752 as Britannia Fire Company, according to [url="http://www.mounthollyfd.com/history.htm"]http://www.mounthollyfd.com/history.htm[/url] --- oops, I entered the above when it was late last night after being up since before dawn. Now I realize what an error I made in not seeing this was Relief of Burlington Townshiip. I was thinking Relief of Mount Holly.

Rich, you are thinking of Relief Fire Company of Mount Holly and while that is true about them being around since 1752,the truck in question belongs to the Relief Fire Company of Burlington Township who has only existed since 1957.

[quote name='taurudak' post='330922' date='Aug 20 2009, 15:58 ']And finally (I mean it this time) Birchwood FC of Rockaway Twp, Morris Co brought this American LaFrance Century.[/quote]



That ALF with the portrait on the cab front was a favorite at many paades in and around Morris County for years. When it was new, Birchwood brought it to a relay pumping course at our county fire academy. I felt bad for those guys because there were a lot of problems with it that day. BTW, that is where I learned how to simulate about 500 feet of 3 inch hose between pumpers by using a length or two of inch and a half.

Jay thanks. I already posted a correction when I came back to the computer this morning. It was late last night and I did not see the part about Burlington Township.
