The vehicle must have been totaled, he was trapped or some other reason for him not to be able to use his radio to summons help. Here is some additional information regarding the incident he was responding to. from the Lewistown Sentinel: MCCLURE - A one-story building once used for cold storage was destroyed by an early morning fire, sending one local man to Lewistown Hospital for treatment, a fire official said Sunday evening. An area firefighter also was seriously injured during a motor vehicle accident while enroute to combat the blaze, officials said. McClure Fire Chief Keith Martin said emergency personnel responded to the fire at 19 N. Stuck St. in McClure at about 2:23 a.m. Martin described the building as a former cold-storage facility with an apartment at one end. That apartment was occupied by a local resident, identified as "Red" Wright, who was home at the time of the blaze, Martin said. "When we arrived on scene, his neighbors let us know he was in the apartment. One of the firefighters pushed the door open ... we were able to call his name and then he came out," Martin said. Wright was transported to Lewistown Hospital to receive treatment for smoke inhalation, Martin said. A condition update from the hospital was not available as of press time Sunday night. Martin described the building as "a total loss," but said firefighters were able to prevent the flames from consuming most of Wright's apartment. He said a lot of Wright's personal property was salvaged as a result. Firefighters battled the flames for more than an hour before bringing the blaze under control around 4 a.m., and the last unit was released from the scene around 9 a.m., Martin said. McClure Fire Co. was assisted at the scene by units from Bannerville, Beaver Springs, Beavertown, Middleburg, Decatur, East Derry and United fire companies. Martin also said a member of Bannerville Fire Co., Richard Keiser, was injured in an automobile accident while he was responding to the blaze. Keiser, 46, of McClure, was traveling north on Old Stage Road at about 2:30 a.m. when his vehicle exited the right side of the roadway, according to a report issued by Pennsylvania State Police Lewistown. Police said Keiser's vehicle traveled through an electric fence and struck a cement block spring house before coming to rest. Keiser was transported to Geisinger Medical Center in Danville, where he was listed in serious condition Sunday evening. Police were assisted at the scene of the accident by units from Decatur, East Derry and Yeagertown fire companies, Fame EMS and Mifflin County Fire Police.

I came to an agreement with the guy last night, so I just need the blessings from our Company President for some paperwork, I spoke with our Chief and is ok with our plan, so as the signman says time will tell, I just need to find someone willing to help us out with getting her out of the lawn and back to Wassaic or was that Tinkertown road.

well hopefully if everything goes well we can get her back to the glory days, time, $$$ and alot of dedicated work.

It is going in Dan's driveway he volunteered.

You're always invisible, never seen!!!!!!

I finally got him on the phone , it looks good it may be coming home.

Just gets me pissed, if he doesn't want to move then just call back and tell me!!!! :angry:

Craig I am on vacation this week and will keep trying and maybe take a trip back to Beekman, maybe we can enlist 34-1 for some help????? you out there Beekman?

I got it, umm I think Good choice to add the lights and radios, you never know when you may need it as 34-1 states, it can be used in many different situations. Nice simple design, well done.

From the same call, which one is better????? That is yours truly on the right!

Sad to say guys I have called several times, different times, different days, no luck. I did speak to the guys dad the other day as well as the day we went there and he said he would pass it to his son. I guess the owner isn't interested it moving it.

How about the Canon EOS Rebel XS, 10.1 megapixels DSLR comes with a zoom lens 18 mm-55mm- f/3.5-5.6 canon EF-S lens.

excellent job BFD, setting the bar for the rest of us. Great to see them putting the community first and giving back, great great great example.

good reminder, even though we should not need to be reminded.
