  1. The deceased is the father of my neighbor's sons best friend. They are both Juniors at Saucon Valley High School.
  2. Matt if your department follows NFPA guidelines, NFPA does not allow apparatus 20 years or older. In fact it requires rigs 15 years to go into "reserve" status and then out of service completely at 20. This is why many organizations pick and choose which guidelines to follow.
  3. Unfortunately this situation has turned fatal. Looks like the dumptruck plowed a car across the intersection and into the firehouse. They didnt even find it until an hour or two ago, well into overhaul. Google map 1995 Leithsville Road in zip 18055. Thats the address for the firehouse which will have the pin. The truck came down Flint Hill Road, which is an 8% grade for... 1+ mile. Rumor has it that he was saying he turned into the firehouse to avoid the residential structure, which you can see directly across the intersection, next to the firehouse (exposure D.) Mike, I dont know about the B. I know they had another CF pumper which went upstate somewhere, and now a friend of mine owns it. Bulldog- I agree. Dont think sprinklers would have helped. It should be mentioned that this company and the Se-Wy-Co fire company (Northampton County Company 18) are almost completely merged.
  4. Video: http://statter911.co...roys-firehouse/ Today, at approx. 1250pm, a tri-axle dump truck fully loaded with asphalt crashed through the front of the Leithsville Fire Company (Northampton County, Lower Saucon Township, Pa.) and triggered a massive fire that destroyed the fire station and 5 pieces of apparatus. The station, which is located at 1995 Leithsville Road (Route 412, in between 611 and I-78) is at the intersection with Flint Hill Road. If you google the address (use zip code 18055) you will see that it appears the driver of the dump came down Flint Hill Road (which is an 8% grade for over 1 mile) lost the brakes somehow and probably swerved to avoid the apartment building immediately at the bottom, choosing to plow the firehouse instead. The driver of the dump was transported to St. Lukes Hospital in Bethlehem, with severe burns. No one was in the fire station at the time. In the video, the two bays of the fire station on the right appear to be vacant- the dump truck pushed the engine company and the heavy rescue back into the back of the firehouse. The heavy rescue was probably totalled even before it stopped moving. At 2:16 you can what is left of the new (less than a year old) Harvester/Fouts Brothers 3000 gallon tank truck- you can make out the front bumper and the federal Q mechanical siren, These guys are second due to my home- they are a good bunch, keep them in your thoughts. Posted the video because I thought everyone would enjoy Lower Saucon Fire Co's CF Telesqurt 'doin the deed. The maxidyne sounds pretty despite the circumstances.
  5. Leece-Neville is usually a pretty good product, we have their alternators on our firetrucks as per our specs.
  6. He's probably asking Poppy "whats stinkyfinger?" or "why are the guys telling me to roll a fat girl in flour and look for the wet spot?"
  7. Yes, go to the Tilted Kilt instead.....The ladies there are all sweet and innocent and are working their way through nun school.
  8. you guys are all a bad influence on me.........
  9. Ohhh I think I'm gonna barf and laugh at the same time...... If it smells like fish and tastes like chicken, yer in the right place- keep on lickin'!!!!!!!!!!
  10. I thought that thing looked familiar.......
  11. That was OUTSTANDING!!!! I just laughed my ass off so hard my wife asked from the other room what I was carrying on about.....
  12. Always remember kid- fat girls need love too (and they will do ANYTHING.) And there's no such thing as bad rompage- just some of it is a little better than the rest. Romping with a fat girl is like driving a Kenworth- it's good, you just dont want to be seen doing it.
  13. Going stag can be a good thing- you dont have to go to the after-party with one girl, you can go with four!!!!!! And I have first dibbs on getting to sniff his fingers......... (ooooh did I say that out loud?......can you tell I'm married with children?)
  14. Thats because no one IN their right mind is behind him.......
  15. Fat, drunk and stupid are no way to go through life.
  16. -Whoa.......ummmm......dude........ummmm......maybe.....just maybe, and I'm spitballin' here......maybe you might just better stay put for the preservation of your marriage? There will be other Macungies!!!!!!!! Best of luck to you and the wife with the pregnancy, you guys will be in my thoughts. All three of my wife's calvings have been high-risk but she was able to deliver naturally, so I sorta know what yer going through,
  17. Hey did you see my message about Macungie and flying in? See if you can get a flight to Lehigh Valley Intern'l Airport, I could pick you up there thursday night, friday night or early saturday AM.....lemme know if you need help with a hotel room. Big day of the show is Saturday. If you cannot get there, but you can get to Philly, I could tell you which trains to hop to come out to the suburbs where I could pick you up.....no offense dude I aint coming to Philly Intern'l unless I absolutely have to!!!!! LOL
  18. Get off my lawn. See if you can get a flight into Lehigh Valley Airport, I can pick you up. LV is much much closer than Philly or Newark. If you DO have to go into Philly I'll edumacate you on which train to get onto, have you come out to the 'burbs, and will pick you up there.
  19. Contact Bob Adams Sr at Adams Fire Protection in Ridley Park, Pa. I know he has one for sale right now, 12V, in mint condition, I think he wants $900 for it. Tell him Yardo from the Warminster Navy Base sent you.
  20. Get an engine oil analysis done before you buy the truck.
  21. I was going to use these guys to do the clutch I mentioned earlier- found them on the internet. Called out there and talked to someone, dont remember who, but they were super nice, and when they told me the price along with shipping, it would have cost me more to ship round trip that the cost of doing the clutch. So I asked the guy about someone closer to me, and he suggested D & W. I appreciate the fact that they were honest and even went as far to suggest a good vendor closer to me.
  22. They are currently widening the Northeast Extension of the Pa Tpk (I476) between the east-west turnpike (MM20) and MM35
  23. What about playing with yourself NOT in front of the mirror?
