Is this all to try to sell new equipment??? Is there a flea market with any old equipment?Dave said:
Thanks
Pinball Charlie
It's all new equipment, no flea market that I am aware of.
We will be there again this, taking up two booths probably in the main hall again.
I will post the booth numbers when we get them.

Theres a small Firematic flea market held at the Progress Fire Company as well as a Fire Expo party, info should be at progressfire.com
There will be a busload (50 or so) of us from Atlantic Canada heading down again this year. I've gotten a few good buys at both the trade show and the flea market at Progress FD. My third time on this trip, and as always, looking forward to it.

Greater Phila. Search and Rescue will be there as usual, think the booth's in the normal spot (hallway between the two bigger halls). I'm scheduled to work that weekend, but I'm going to attempt to take off for it...

Looks like the Boys from B&B (myself and triton911bj) well be attending with some other members of our Fire Department... It's been a LONG time since I've been to the Expo... Can't wait to get back again...

Do you have any more information specific to the used equipment or the Fire Flea Market,i.e., the Link Specific to the Flea market?
I must be missing it at progressivefire.com.
It's not a huge flea market, it's held inside their banquet room, but there are some pretty good buys there- Memorabilia, t-shirts, some antique apparatus parts, there were a couple of Q's there last year, and a few lights. I picked up a couple of restorable Aerodynics there a couple of years ago for 30 bucks for the pair. I'm hoping to get there again this year as well.

They are NOT directly affiliated with the expo... This is something that the FD does durring the time of the expo...
The "When" is typically the Saturday of the Expo. The "where" is at the Progress Fire Station. I've never seen a link to the flea market and as for contact persons, I would suggest contacting Progress Fire Company directly and maybe they will point you in the right direction.
So far, nothing listed on their calendar but the Expo.

I have e-mailed them, with no response, as of yet.
If they ever reply, I will make a note on here with the specific information, for all to see.

We did that show 2 years in a row and it was a good show for us,but that was before every Tom,Dick and Harry was selling Whelen,Havis and other products at the show. I think we did like $5000 just in Single and Double Talons in 2 days.We always got stuck in the Horse Barn with no a/c and I sweat like a pig.Good show though, and the Crab Cakes at the Fire House Restaurant were awesome. I would go just for those! Unlike NYS Chiefs how,this was a BUYING show and agencies placed orders rather than kicking the tires and and grabbing free promo items for all 14 kids back home.
I should go,and maybe stop at Trucksville Fire and a few others while I am down there.

Despite being only an hour away, never been to one there. Maybe I'll swing up there just to meet people off here
Counting the days....leaving next Thursday. About an 18 hour trip, with stops for meals and border crossing.

I'll be there all weekend (Fri-Sun) with my SAR team. Still not sure what # the booth is, but like I said it's in the main walkway between the two halls. When I figure it out I'll post it on here.
