Heidlersburg Fire Co (The Dog House) Apparatus

[ff6cav]

here's a link to the apparatus from the Heidlersburg Fire Company, aka "the dog house". Once the 2008 Granite tanker went into service, all of our apparatus, with the exception of our Squad (a chevy 3500), are Macks.

I like the CF the best looks like a great combination. Was the CF at the 2007 State Convention?

Thanks for posting the pictures.

Thats funny, I could have sworn that your engine 25-2 was built by Sutphen (on a Mack chassis that they purchased; and without Mack's knowledge.....) Last time I saw that thing is when it was a demonstrator, and the Sutphen salesman brought it to our firehouse. Had an Eaton 10-speed autoshift, and was a mechanical nightmare......But at least it was red.

Yep, its officially a "Mack/Sutphen". Has the guts of a Mack with the body of a Sutphen. We've had a few mechanical problems with it, but overall it does its job. It helps that our Chief's father owns PA Fire Apparatus, so we can take it half a mile down the road if it has problems. Not to mention that he also is usually the one driving it

I believe both engines and the Ford tanker were at the 07 convention
