Back 30 to 40 years ago when I had bought a few slides, pics, etc from great old photographers with names like Hammond, Duliba, Holtman, Young, Mack and others I can't remember now, I just sort of stored them away.  Well they are now on my computer and I thought I would share some of them with you.  Again, I did NOT take any of these pics and since I don't know which of the good old boys did, so there will be no photographer's names listed.

 

First up is Reno, NV Skl 1 - 1976 Pierce 85' RM.

Looking for photos of Libertytown's old rescue engine. It was a 1980 Mack MC pumper 1000gallons. Rehabbed in the mid to late 90's with an enclosed cab. Might have ended up in Virginia, sold in 2003.

 

Thanks,

Wow Im all for nice apparatus but to say if its over 10 years old its bad as a blanket policy. I knew this was the policy for front line rigs (Engines, Ladders, Rescues) but all front line rigs. This is part of the reason why the cost of living is so high on the east coast. 

Fort Wayne Indiana Fire Department is on the scene of a large fire in a warehouse. All 18 of fort wayne fire stations are on scene and they have called in other departments for stand by.  

 

I was working and someone said I think somthing is on fire across the street. So I grabbed my camera. Here is the first of what i had seen when I got to my car.

Last night while on patrol in Fort Wayne, Indiana I found 2 Demo rigs I think came from FRI. Not the best photos but you dont see a FDNY ladder in indiana very often.

Caught this job yesterday in my neighborhood.  2 story single family dwelling in the Levittown Section of Middletown Twp.  Arrived with chiefs on the Box (2 streets away from residence).  2 lines were stretched, 1 was used.  300 feet of 5" dropped.  This job went a lot better then the 4 alarm fire a month ago(same fire companies 1st due).  Home owner was sweating his own pipes on the 2nd floor.  Not uncommon for us to get these jobs as a result of sweating pipes.

I was at the KME plant in Nesquehoning, PA on Tuesday & Wednesday, and while we were zipping around in one of the corporate golf cart buggies I spotted this cab in primer sitting out in the yard:

I wondered if it was what I thought it was . . . And a few guarded answers revealed that yes, in fact it is. This is the prototype for KME's split-tilt cab for the FDNY. Sorry for the poor photo quality but it was taken on the fly and the next time we went by that spot it was gone.

Over the next few days I will be posting photos from the South Atlantic Fire Expo held in Raleigh,NC. First up are shots from the parade.
