Seven Valleys Brush 62 (formerly Hookies Engine 8)

Brush 62 (Old Hookies Engine 8) as it looks presently...

FF/EMT Chris Walker from Seven Valleys Fire Co. (York County Station 62) recently sent a photo of their brush rig, Brush 62, to the webmasters.  Brush 62,  formerly Hookies Engine 8, is a 1975 Dodge Power Wagon mini-pumper with a 250 gpm pto pump carrying 200 gallons of water. Old Engine 8 fought many fires when it served in the Hookies fleet. A few improvements have been made, but old Engine 8 still looks much like it did in its Hookies days.  Engine 8 was sold to Seven Valleys Fire Co. in York County PA in 1992 when it was replaced with the current Rescue 33. Chris remarked that Brush 62 still serves them well. Thank you Chris for sending us the picture!  Be sure to check out Seven Valleys website on our links page.

Merry Christmas--December 24, 2007

The Hookies were back at it again as they escorted the famous man into Tyrone.  The entire Tyrone and Bald Eagle fleet made their way all through the boro and surrounding areas to see all the eager faces on Christmas Eve, with Santa perched atop Hookies Engine 3317.  Thanks to all the Hookie volunteers and their families that keep making this annual event possible, and especially a big thank you to our special Hookies Santa!!!
