Fire Truck Among Items Up for Auction in PA

A fire truck highlights the items that will be up for sale on October 23 at Allegheny County (PA) Airport Authority’s annual auction at the Heavy Equipment Building on Cargo Road, reports triblive.com.

The auction, starting at 10 a.m., is for two years’ worth of items left behind at Pittsburgh International Airport. In addition to the fire truck, nine abandoned vehicles, runway brooms, plows, nearly 1,000 pieces of jewelry, and more will be up for bid, the report says.

Doors open at 8:30 a.m., two food trucks—Divine Swine and Steel City Fries—will be on hand, and masks are required, according to the report.

The 2019 auction—the last one held in person, due to COVID—saw a former Allegheny County Bomb Squad truck sold for $8,500. 2020’s virtual auction had a 2012 Chevy Silverado sell for more than $18,000, a 2018 Camaro go for $26,000, and a 2006 Nissan Murano for $1,100, the report says.

Certain items will be available for bidding online at joerpyleauctions.com.
