Jay, or anyone, do you know anything about this piece. It's hard to see, but it says 897 on it. Could that have been their original number?  |

I can help you further narrow down the year to 1978-1981...
3023, the Ward LaFrance Ambassador was a 1978
9021, the C Mack was replaced in 1981 by a CF Mack which is now assigned as Engine 9062.
Maybe 1710 can check with Chuckie Oatman but I think the PowerWagon from 342 was a 79 or 80.
421's rig - I'm pretty sure the numbers were their Ocean County designators as they responded (and still do) with both counties.
Was this by chance the parade for the old CF Heavy Rescue that's now in Pennsauken?

Good ol' Professor Jay of the Burlington County Fire Truck Institute is going through his notes and should have information about the rigs Jim posted by Sunday evening or sometime on Monday.

A couple guys over at 201 found a box with some old pics in it. Thanks to cfd2037, I was able to copy them and share them with the group. These pics are form a parade in Palmyra. I don't know what year they are from. I know it is 1975 or later, because the old 2511 is one of the pics. The pics are not the best quality after being scanned, but I thought I'd share them any way. All pictures were taken by an unknown photographer. I believe WebBoss asked for this awhile back. A retired open cab Seagrave from 111.  |

2812 was a 1973 Ford C/Great Eastern.
4217 was a 1975 Dodge with I believe a Saulsbury body. It was wrecked in 1997 when some old geezer in a Caddy hit it and knocked it onto it's side out on the Parkway |

Good Intent Fire Co., Sta. 503, Mt. Holly, Retired Brush Truck, Dodge Power Wagon, C Model Mack Engine in the background Rancocas Fire Co., Station 271, Westampton, Chief 2700, Ford Engine in the background, in a wierd red color ;D Florence Station, Sta. 402, Florence, Retired Van, Mack Engine, and Tractor-Drawn Tanker
The chiefs ride from the former 271 appears to be a Pontiac and their engine was either a 1975 or 1976 Ford C/Young.
The Florence van is a 1979 or 80. Their Mack engine was a 1972 with a 1250 pump and a 500 gallon tank. It was refurbed by Grumman in 1986. Station 401 also had one. The tanker was a 1956 Mack B. I am guessing that it has about 5500 gallons in the tank trailer.That concludes today's lesson from the Burlington County Fire Truck Institute. Free beer for everybody!! |

Jay, God damn you know your trucks. Thanks for the lesson. I hope there's no test. My head is spinning already.

Was this by chance the parade for the old CF Heavy Rescue that's now in Pennsauken? No clue what the parade was for. The pics were in an unlabeled envelope in a random box. A lot of pics, lots of out of county trucks. That's it for the burlco stuff though. |

The 402 Mack later went to 212 and is still there (for sale) running as Engine 2123. Still in great shape. A source of mine has said that the Mack B tanker is still alive somewhere in South Jersey shuttling water around for demolition projects. The Rancocas rigs... nice stuff. This is right around the time 272 was formed and getting off their feet. Jay, or anyone else... got any pics of 2711 the early 90's Pemfab/Boardman when it was either 2711 or 2731? (As the younger lads read this and say 273... WHAT!?!?!?) I would love to find a good shot of this rig for the company's archives. |

I thought I knew every station in the county. What was 273? Obviously a Westampton station, but what about it? I knew there was a 293 (New Lisbon), 441 (Fieldsboro), and 504 (America) and they all disbanded. I'm sure there are more. These just come to mind the quickest.
