This 1991 Simon/Grummen pumper is another eye catcher of Thorofare Fire Company. Note the rear controls which are very similar to one I shot in Irmo, SC and which is posted on the pumper pages.

Newest piece with the Thorofare Fire Company in Thorofare, NJ is this 1998 Pierce Saber. This is a nice combination of green and cream on the roof. You can see the shade of cream by comparing it to the white stripe on the side.

Young America Fire Company is no more. It has been merged with the Mitchell Fire Company, both of Burlington, NJ. This is their 2001 Pierce Lance with a 100' ladder. A new name was not known at the time of this writing so if anyone has the new name of the fire company please pass it on to me.
