Bryn Mawr Fire Company & Lower Merion Fire Department parade down Lancaster Ave (1947)

I showed this to my little old mom who grew up in Ardmore. She was excited to spot some familiar faces in the crowd -- herself and her two sisters, her aunt, her grandfather, and a favorite neighbor, to name a few.
I wonder if anyone else can tell if the band playing outside of the station was Jones's band, as she suspects.

Awesome video of past times. So, I identified the Seagrave tiller, the ALF 700 series pumper, and quint, and what I think are either Pirsch or Maxim trucks. Love the CJ-2 brush rig also. Why were they pushing the rigs into the bays towards the end though? Heavy rigs to be pushing!

Great video. Love the shots of the long gone apparatus. I hope you have more videos like this. Also, at the end of the video was that the housing ceremony for the new apparatus?
