ff6cav Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 7 hours ago, General Ike said: The L was sold to Gere Lady and was lost in a fire when his barn burned. It was at GFD the entire time I was there in service as E1-4 but it never saw fire while I was there from '96-'00. It was a 1947 I believe. Ran its last job pumping a fire at Sentz cleaners right off the Square in Gettysburg in the mid '90's. The CF was the old Engine Zero from Yardley. It became E1-3. I caught a ton of fire on that rig. It was acquired to act as a stand in for E1-2 (1977 Seagrave) when it was refurbished and had a Pierce body mounted. They decided to keep it when E1-2 came back and it was slimed. Gere Lady coincidentally owns E1-2 now as well. And while we are at it he owns the old hose wagon, Wagon 1. Or at least he did when I did my Pre delivery inspection of the General in 2011. Last I knew, the CF, E1-3, was at the Harrisburg Area Community College fire school. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I'm pretty sure a large chunk of surviving retired Adams County apparatus are owned by the Lady's, including a lot of Macks; and I believe he does still have the Wagon, which had been painted white and spent some time at the 911/Training Center with Fairfield's old IH/Hamerly engine and Gettysburg's old air wagon. I did some research and the CF is currently at Luzerne County Community College. She definitely did look better in red!

Only thing I didn't like was it wasn't Jake braked.

609albert Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 that would be so sad to remove the fire body, it has to be saved as a fire truck. I already have a open cab 'L' mack ,no fun driving in the rain Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/48262-the-general-has-been-sitting-for-some-time/page/2/#findComment-358197 Share on other sites More sharing options...
