Athens Township has just taken delivery of their new 24-engine-1. It is a 1996 Pierce Saber, 1500gpm, 6 man cab. Should be in service in a couple weeks. I'll try to post some pics soon. Thanks to the Lower Allen Township Fire Department of Cumberland County.

Does this engine replace eng 2 or is this an additional engine?

we currently have two engines. engine 2 is housed in the main station at herrick ave, and engine 1 is housed in east athens at our substation on kirby street. the new engine will replace engine 1 however, it will be our primary engine housed at our main station. 24-engine-2 will be moved to east athens.

Congrats guys, I know for a fact that you guys got a steal of a deal on that rig. It was hardly ever used. Hey Billy I hear from a "little" bird that we need to come up and show you how to wheel it around.

This is definately a beautiful rig. I think that we pretty much stole this rig for the price. And in other good news, for those of you that might not have heard, Athens Township has been awarded a $252,000 federal grant for another new engine. IT'S ABOUT TIME!!!! I will be posting more info as it comes to us. I'll try to get some new updated photos of engine 1 posted for you guys to see.
