According to their website, they own at least 3 firetrucks that are currently in operation. I would assume that they already owned at least a couple of these trucks on 9/11, since two of them were built in the 70's. They also show 5 pieces of retired equipment, but it's hard to say when they trucks were 'retired' if it was before or after 9/11. You would think in a rural community like Shanksville, that they would have sent out everything they had when they got the call that a passenger jet was down? My local fire dept sent out at least 8 trucks to my house last year, that all arrived at about the same time, when we called for a minor fire in the attic. its possible they still have 3 trucks. i went there twice. both times the place was locked and vacant. its all volunteer so thats to be expected i imagine. however, the 2nd trip was the time the truck photographed on 9/11 was parked outside the firehall. you can get a feeling looking at the pics that it is quite small but when you see it in person it really is mind boggling that such a small truck responded to the alleged crash of a 757. not that they needed to either mind you. from my conversations with bob blair and doug miller i gathered they extinguished all the fires themselves before this truck even arrived on the scene. just think had 2 guys been near the pentagon with a fire extinguisher or two in their trucks they could have had that 757 jet fuel fire put out long before the collapse of the wall. well.......maybe not.
