Kettering, OH in the 1980's

[Buckeye 53]

If I remember correctly 2 Sutphen engines at 32's & 35's.  I don't know at what stage this process is at or when the deliveries might be expected.  I have few more current rigs to photograph down there and I hope to learn more then.

It would be wrong for them NOT to order Sutphens since we are in Sutphen country  I'm becoming the fire apparatus photographer myself. You want to see some of my photos via e-mail?

[Buckeye 53]

Just post your photos online for all to see.  I'm sure Sutphen is glad for the business.

Buckeye,
Do you have any of Akron (my hometown) or Summit County?

[Buckeye 53]

Yes, I do......keep watching......I am going to do another defunct Township in the Dayton area & Toledo and then I will do Akron.  I just posted an Akron rig the other day in:

Buckeye, are you going to post pictures from Toledo, or be photographing in the area?  I live in the Toledo burbs.

I will be posting old photos.  I hope to make it up there for the NW Ohio Parade in June.

  I remember the Peter-Pirshes used by Kettering. Prior to those, Kettering used GMC engines on a commercial chassis (don't remember the builder) with the white with red fender paint scheme.  If anyone goes to the Germantown fire muster, you may see it displayed.

ScottFlynn101, I have this photo. This Kettering Engine,  #4, was the very first fire engine I climbed onto, when I was a 6 year old, at the firehouse at Patterson and Woodman.
