Hi Tom, I spoke to Bobby about the 49 Seagraves truck. I asked him about the ladder and he gave me that surprised look on his face. Jimmy showed me a picture of the truck. Bobby laughed and asked how I knew about the ladder. I told him about my conversation with you. He asked how you were doing. Take care, be/stay safe

Hi Tom again,
I just noticed your reply to the other question on your page. When I see him I will ask about the 1949 Truck and the ground ladder. I will let you know what he says. Yes I agree, he is a great man, and I think he is one of the best people to learn a hell of a lot from.

Hi Tom,
Hope you and yours are doing well. Ya know, you never did say who you know from Emmaus Fire Dept.. Want me to say HI to someone?? Well, hope you and your dept have a good day tomorrow. Stay safe/ be safe always.

I am acquainted with Chief Bob Reiss. If you see him, ask him if Emmauss ever had a 1949 Seagraves ladder truck. Then ask him if he know what happened to the 45’ ground ladder that used to be on the truck. You can then tell him my name and say hello for me and that I wish him well. He is a great man.

Right now James ( Jimmy ) Reiss is our fire chief. His dad Robert R Reiss retired about 3 yrs ago after about 48-50 yrs in the fire service. Jimmy's cousin, John Reiss is our Assit Chief.. Take care

Hello Tom,
Yes, I run with Emmaus. I ran from 1990-1996, then left because of a cancer scare. I came back in Apr. of '06. I missed running and being around the guys and learning from them. Do you want me to say HI to any one in particular? Time to go. Stay & Be safe.

Answer A When you are having to advance a hose-line up a ladder, it should be carried up the ladder from the left side, with the nozzle draped over your shoulder, and uncharged. If the line is accidentally charged, there is less of a chance the h...
