General Ike Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 York Springs is about 10 miles from a small den of Mack fire apparatus in Heidlersburg, PA just south on US15. They run a 1965 CF that was rebodied and refurbished in 1990 by Lady & Taylor (same folks that restored my Gettysburg FD B Model for me). Its got Jere Lady's signature square headlights which I could do without. They also run a 2001 one of a kind Mack/Sutphen pumper that was a failed partnership between Mack and fire apparatus manufacturer Sutphen. If I recall, it's a Mack chassis and motor with a Sutphen body. Interesting to say the least. Finally, they've got a 2008 Granite tanker.

JumperAndSon Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 That had better be a green leaker (or silver 92!) in that black General! That thing is bad ass for sure!
