Diamond T Chassis (1936-1960) – The Hand-in-Hand Fire Company authorized J. Harry Weaver, William H. Umble, and Everett E. Brubaker to purchase the Diamond T Chassis. It was delivered in December 1936 and was in service until November 1960. It had a 150-gallon water tank and a 350 g.p.m. Northern Rotary Gear pump, built by Hahn, which was set up to supply two 1.5 inch lines and a 100 foot ¾ inch booster reel. Ladders, hand lights, raincoats, caps, boots, air packs, foam, and two-way radios were added to this truck. This story about the Diamond T Chassis is in the 50th Anniversary booklet: This was the first engine in our area with an enclosed cab. It exposed our firemen to a lot of good-natured ribbing. They had the last laugh though, when their engine, cab and all, took the first prize of $25 at the Firemen’s Convention held in Quarryville in 1937. Today, all apparatus has fully enclosed cabs to protect their firefighters. The pump on the Diamond T eventually broke down and plans were made to purchase a new pumper. A 300 g.p.m. Hale portable pump that had been purchased in 1959 was temporarily mounted on the Diamond T. Neighboring companies responded with Bird-in-Hand on first out assistance until the new equipment arrived.
