Back in 2013 Selkirk sold their 1989 Duplex LTI Aerial to the Eastern Derry Twp FD in Westmoreland County Pennsylvania. The last information Selkirk FD members had on the truck was back around 2015, when members found pictures of the truck in a repo yard. FF Steven Hummel Jr. started "digging" around via the internet and found that our old truck is STILL in service. It is currently owned by the Albany/Delaware Township Volunteer Fire Department in Indiana. So it went from Albany County NY to the Town of Albany in Indiana.

Pictures from the Indiana Fire Trucks website is below. How do we know it is our old truck? Good ol' Bluto, from the Popeye Cartoon, is still still riding high on each side of the truck. Over the back wheels on the Driver's side, and over pump panel, on the Officer's side. ... See MoreSee Less

When I sold that truck to the PA fire dept I thought it was doomed ... glad to see it has a third life....

Great Truck. Crappy HVAC System lol. Defroster = Non Existent; Loved working with this truck. First Signal 30 I was the driver/operator on was with this truck.

Just awesome...... loved the truck..... did many many hours of training with her.... had a GREAT crew back then.... thanks for the memories.....OLD “421”

Always a good looking truck. I remember lots of compliments on it when it was on display at the chief’s convention.

I my dad is is a fire chief up here in Essex junction vermont when I got on we had 91 pierce lance quint that was sold to fair fax vermont fire. Then had a old 1982 maximum engine. Don’t know where that. Then we had engine 23. 1979 Alf don’t know here that is And then we had old ladder 41 1982 Alf 85 Stick out a the rest home station 2 never figured out where that went the then we engine 24. 21 squad 5 could never figure out what happend to them 24 was a reserve. Unit 21 was scrapped I think it had a lot of issues

Thank you for sharing that news!

Cool

"Bluto" aka Bill Allen 😂

Excellent

Are you saying, the unit was repossessed from the department you sold it to and then another department bought it? EDIT: Google has all the answers. www.wpxi.com/news/local/ex-fire-chief-derry-wife-stealing-station-closes/32207878/

Rest In Peace Chief. ... See MoreSee Less

The Selkirk Fire Department recently received an "Outstanding Service Award" from the American Red Cross. The ARC sent this award to all of their Blood Program Partners who helped by hosting Blood Drives during the COVID-19 Pandemic. Thousands of Blood Drives, around the nation, were cancelled due to the impact of the pandemic. Selkirk's Spring 2020 Blood Drive was one of them. Thankfully, in working with the ARC, and approval of the Selkirk Board Of Fire Commissioners, we were able to safely have the Fall 2020 Blood Drive, and are looking forward to the next one in April 2021.

Blood Program Partners are individuals/groups that works with the ARC to host Blood Drives at their locations. Selkirk FD has been hosting Blood Drives for close to 20 years. Initially at Selkirk Station #1 in Selkirk, then moving up Selkirk Station #2 in Glenmont, where we currently host a Blood Drive twice a year, once in the Spring, and a second one in the Fall.

Thank You American Red Cross for this recognition. ... See MoreSee Less
