Pennsylvania Pump Primers 2007




Saturday also found me in Harrisburg, PA, in River Park, along the Susquehanna River. Yesterday was the 38th annual Antique Fire Apparatus Show and Muster. This event starts with a parade, all antique, and different from most parades, it is lights and sirens, bells and whistle all the way. Once at the Park some of the engines will park down along the river and flow water, proving that they may be old but they can still do what they were intended to do. There is also a flea market of fire related toys, signs, pictures, shirts and fire truck parts. We talked to some guys from Harlem Truck 26 selling t-shirts. The pictures include a shot from down along the river edge, an old Ahrens-Fox pumping and one looking out across the nozzle of a master stream device. Stay tuned, I'm sure I'll post more picture from Pump Primers soon.
