A pumper that served for decades alongside firefighters in Radnor has been sold, with well wishes.
RADNOR TOWNSHIP, PA — Engine 15-1 has served at hundreds of fires over decades, but Radnor Fire Company bid goodbye Monday evening to the company's 1999 Emergency One Cyclone II Pumper.
Fire company officers and members of Chester Township Fire Department came to RFC to take delivery of the engine purchased from RFC for their fleet.

Reliable, fast, and always at the ready at fires, accidents and rescues, Engine 15-1 was a favorite of RFC engineers and crews spanning three decades, according to the company's news desk.
