[quote name='RPbravest21FD' post='57149' date='Dec 8 2006, 11:50 ']I saw on Dunkirk, MD's Fire Department website that they bought a used
Seagrave tiller of 1970's vintage that looks a lot like an old Baltimore tiller. Anybody have any information on this?[/quote]
That truck is a 1976
Seagrave that was assigned to the Eastport station of Annapolis City, MD Fire Dept. The Fort Meade, MD US ARMY base fire department aquired it as a reserve truck when Annapolis received it's new
Pierce TDA. Fort Meade used the 1976
Seagrave as a reserve for a few months in 2005, but they way the Fire Chief there had aquired it violated Army regulations and they were ordered to return it to Annapolis City, which didn't want it back, so it was sent to the Dept. of Defense salvage yard, where it was purchased by Dunkirk.
Anybody know whatever happened to, or whoever bought the old 1973 Mack rescue?

E\-One unit is now Reserve Rescue 1[/quote]
Does anyone know why this rig was purchased painted in this color scheme? I've always wondered why it wasn't painted to match the rest of the fleet at the time.
The 1993
E\-One rescue was ordered just prior to the switch to white over red. The department wanted to go back to the more traditional white with red fenders/compartments. The red stripe on the cab was added after it was delivered. The city didn't like the way it looked, so they went with the white over red.
The Mack Rescue was last seen a few years ago in a storage lot down by Martin State Airport in Middle River, Maryland. It vanished and old Air Flex 2 showed up there that is now also gone. So as of right now it is MIA the original Mack rescue the B model was for sale on the SPAMMFA website then e-bay. Haven't seen it in a while

Do you mean the L model Mack Rescue? I also saw it on ebay about a year ago. I emailed the winning bidder and asked him what he planned on doing with the rig. I never heard from him.
I went down to Clinton, MD to see the old Mack L when it was on ebay, and it was in sad sad shape. The guy that was selling it was a volunteer chief at one of the other PG Co. companies and he said it was just too much for him to take on. I hope who ever bought it restores the old girl, but she needs major work. I wish them luck.
One of the old International Airflex wagons was sitting out back behind Violetville's station for a while. The last time I saw it there was about this time last year.

I have seen just a few photos of BC rigs with this maltese cross on them (above). Was this just a one or two year logo? I would love to see a close up of this one if anyone has one. I would include it on my upcoming decal sheet if I can find it. Wonderful shots. Thanks for sharing with us. Rich
