Post 171- sure looks like an x-Harrisburg MackL-model with a "urban unrest" cage on the rear. Any H-bg. whackers out there that can confirm?

[quote name='Howie' post='17893' date='Aug 1 2006, 14:10 ']Same truck. I swear I saw this truck for sale about 5 years ago and it was in pretty decent shape. Would love to know the whole story. Too bad.[/quote]





Dover once had 3 of these. All identical. Engines 1, 2 & 3

Ladder Co 1 from Elizabeth (NJ) FD operated this 1980 Mack CF Peter Pirsch aerial. The building in the background is one of the many buildings that still remain from the Singer Sewing Machine Co in Elizabeth. That is the Arthur Kill waterway that separates Elizabeth from Staten Island, NY.

I found this one on my recent trip north. It sits behind a supermarket at the intersection of Routes 5 and 20 in Silver Creek, NY. It's in pretty bad shape, the bottoms of some of the compartments are laying on the ground below the rig where they fell out! It's a 1966 Mack, C-95F-1531, with a 1000 GPM pump and a large tank, possibly 1000 gallons. Some of the lettering could still be read. "Engine 363" and "Hambden" were still visible, even though they had been removed. I googled "Hambden Fire" and the only one I could find was Hambden Fire Department in Chardon, OH. Anyone have further info?

Seeing that Mack C rotting like that is enough to make a grown man cry!

I agree. The sad thing is that it's been neglected for quite some time, that much rust didn't occur overnight. I'm not sure how long it has been sitting there, I get to WNY at least once a year and that's the first time I ever saw it. It's easily spotted from the road, so I don't think I've missed it before, it just hasn't been there more than a couple years tops.

Not only is a beautiful fire truck rotting away, look at that poor Federal Q wasting away! That needs to be on the bumper of my Jeep <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Tongue' />
