It's been a long while since I've posted here, but here is a recent, quick working fire I took in here in Beverly. This was a fire in a attached workshop/garage at the rear of a 3 story woodframe with apartments over commercial. It was a quick knockdown with no extension into the main building. Beverly Engines 3,4,6 (E6 is a spare being utilized by E5), Truck 1, Car 2, Car 1 (Chief), M1 (Mechanic) as well as Rehab 5 and Northeast Regional Ambulance.

Since ALF is Gone,  Has Ventura County getting any new apparatus from Pierce KME etc...........

At 0911 Portland 911 dispatch began to receive many calls for a fire on Mill Court. It was described as; a house fire, a fire on Market St., a backyard burn and probably several other things. It was just 2 blocks from Station 7 so they arrived quickly. In addition to Eng. 7, Truck 7, Rescue 7 and C3, E29, E31, E19, T2 and C4 responded. Since all companies were heavily engaged, C3 ordered an additional engine for RIT duties.

Truck 7 started a search for occupants and FF Braxton thought he heard a noise on the 2nd floor. When he got upstairs he fouind a woman semi-concious and leaning against the wall. He carried her outside and she was treated for smoke inhalation by the ambulance crew before being transported to the hospital.


Station 7 arriving.




Advancing the first line into the house.



Eng. 29 bringing a backup line.



Eng. 19 running another line.



Eng. 19 taking the line to the rear.




Fire victim ready for transport.



FFs Braxton and Stensgaard describe the rescue to the Battalion Chief.





Chief Stenhouse held a debriefing.



The disadvantage of arriving behind the first due engine.

Hey guys,

 

This is my first time posting in this section so bare with me...

 

A fellow Fire Fighter and I were out and about in East Texas visiting departments and photographing some apparatus. We got in contact with the Fire Chief of the Gallatin Texas Volunteer Fire Department that stated he had an old Mack pumper on his property and we were welcome to come visit and take a look. Of course we accepted. Upon arrival we got to talking about the old Mack and the Fire Chief stated that a deal was made with a collector in the Houston area for the truck, but he as never followed through with the deal and never picked truck, so its sat for a few years. My friend and I expressed an interest in the truck and then shortly after that the Fire Chief said that if we were willing to remove it from his property we could purchase the truck for 1 dollar. YES 1 dollar!!!. So now, I'm currently the owner of an old Mack Pumper with an unknown amount of problems. But it was so cheap that it was hard to pass up. The idea would be to work on it through out the years and eventually bring it back to its former glory. 

 

We were told that the old Mack CF was originally operated by the FDNY, and then was purchased by a department in Pennsylvania, and then purchased by Gallatin Texas VFD. I'm not sure how true the FDNY part is, but it would be rather cool if it was. I tried to find a list or something online that tells about the Mack CF's in use with the FDNY but I was unable to. I was hoping that someone on here could shine some light on this trucks past. I'd really like to find an old picture of this trucks former life. So if anyone could help me with my search that would be fantastic! 

 

Also, if anyone has any tips or tricks or suggestions with this truck as well, please let me know!

 

Thanks for looking.
