In the meantime while the trucks were being built, the company was forced to purchase a 1939 Mack pumper for temporary service until the arrival of the new apparatus. Also in  1964 the company had decided to sell  our ambulance to the Civil Air Control, which created  a need of some type of replacement apparatus. In 1966 we received a Chevrolet panel truck, which was placed into service as a utility piece of equipment.

On April 30, 1966, the company held a building dedication and apparatus housing for the two Mack pumpers purchased in 1965 and the Chevrolet panel truck purchased in 1966.
The years 1966 through 1972 were devoted to normal fire department operations and preparations for the celebration of our 50th anniversary in 1972. On June 9, 1972, the company celebrated its 50th celebration in grand fashion with a parade. On June 16, 1972, we held our 50th Anniversary banquet at the Treadway Fiesta Inn in Willow Grove in which there were 360 people in attendance.

In 1972 a committee was formed to purchase another pumper. After investigating many manufacturers, it was decided that Mack Fire Apparatus

would be the supplier for our new truck. The new apparatus would be an MB611FC diesel-powered pumper; a unique design that was similar to those used in collecting refuge, hence the nickname of "The Trash Truck." Also in that same year, renovations were started to allow offices for the executive and line officers. In 1973 the decision was made to purchase two Mack CF686F, 1000 gallon per minute pumpers to replace the 1965 pumpers. The 1977 Mack pumpers were received and placed into service; a housing ceremony for the apparatus was held on June 4, 1977. The need for a utility apparatus was investigated and a committee formed in 1978; subsequently, a 1979 GMC utility truck was placed into service.
