We started this endeavor back in 1999.  It always was a dream of mine to share Pennsylvania fire apparatus information with other historians and buffs.  Obviously back then not every fire company had a website or facebook page.  So information gathering was more by word of mouth, parades or other fire events.   There have always been a few key people across the Keystone State that have been vital to gathering information and obtaining pictures.  Most of these people have contributed to this magazine over the years.  And for that I want to thank each and every one of them for all of their help.
