 Fire Company in the 1940's

 

These Photos were given to the Company by Jason Hartz of Tamaqua Citizens Fire Co. and were scanned onto disk by Joe Seavers.   This is just some of the photo from the collection.  Talking to some of our older members, it is estimated that these photos were taken between 1945 and 1949.  Some of the clues is the flag on the front of the building has a "V" made out of  stars which could possibly be from the WWII celebration.  The second is the trucks pictures are the 1924 Fox, the Mack Ladder from the 1920's, the 1939 Fox, and the 1916 Fox Steamer.  More pictures will be added in the very near future.
