[grumpyff 1,159]

As I stated in the Harrisburg Expo thread I had the opportunity to watch the Rosenbauer demonstration on Saturday May 16,2009 at the Harrisburg Area Community College. Here are the photos I got , plus some other apparatus that I was able to shhot there. First up is a group shot of the Rosenbauers

First up is the 101' Cobra Platform with 1500 gpm pump, 500 gallon water tank, and 30 gallon foam tank, and LED rung lighting.

Also there for demonstration was the Safe Scene pumper with side mounted pump operator platform. 1250 gpm PTO driven Rosenbauer pump, 750 gallons of water, with a 150 foot booster line in front bumper. It is capable of pump and roll utilizing the front turret.

Thanks for the shots! I like the seated turntable position for the aerial operator, and the pump panel placement on the engine.

And I LOVE the shots showing the reach of the aerial with the building in the background! GREAT shot!

Rosenbauer also brought the Timberwolf, their Urban Interface Pumper with a PTO driven Rosenbauer 1000 gpm pump, 750 gallons of water capable of pump and roll.

Also on the field were a couple of departments finishing training on ground ladders, ventilation , and search. Colonial Park Fire Company brought their Squad 33, and a duty officer car. Here is their website: http://www.colonialparkfire.org/

Also present was Paxtonia Fire Dept., http://www.paxtonia34fire.com/ , with their Truck 34, a beautiful well equipt 1998 Segrave TDA with 100' aerial. Best quote from one of their members, " If you can't find it on the truck , you don't need it."

They also brought this 1982 Pierce Ranger, that is currently for sale.

A great surprise, was the new Engine 34, a 2009 Seagrave that they took delivery on just 2 weeks ago, it is not yet in service.

Finally, hiding in a garage in the back of the training field was this 1969 Hahn. It was recently replaced by a 1980's Pierce donated by Upper Darby Fire Dept

The Engine that replaced it is actually from the Upper Allen Fire Department (former Engine 1-23). One of the members of Upper Allen is one of the lead instructors at HACC and arranged the deal.

The Engine will become the former Township spare once Paxtonia's new engine goes in service (their current engine will become the township wide spare). The engine is former Linglestown Fire Company, Lower Paxton Township (replaced by our current 2000 KME). From what I understand the township is considering all reasonable offers for it. Still runs and pumps as if it was brand new, some body rust but nothing that a little work couldn't take care of

Never heard of a Pierce Ranger, it looks to be an Arrow. Great shots of the apparatus, we have been waiting to see the Timberwolf ourselves, maybe at the NYS show.

I believe that it is a Pierce Arrow cab and chassis with a Ranger body.

It is an Arrow chassis, unless it was refurbed I highly dought that Pierce would send a chassis to Ranger for a body, it looks like a Pierce pump panel as well, guess it the end does it really matter, No I don't think so, bottom line it is for sale and looks like it has many more years of service.
