It did have Hurst tools. The Mack got the same rear compartment added to its hose bed that SQUAD 1 Had. 41 was closed. Before it reopened as Marc said ENHANCED ENGINE 41... it got added compartments and tool boxes added. There was a box behind the cab that sat in a transverse hose bed... I think was for a 50 foot lenght of 3 inch used for in line pumping or stand pipes.

[quote name='Crossbronxxpress' post='320247' date='Jul 10 2009, 15:20 ']Possibly the '83 ALF Funeral Caison? It was never in frontline service and was kept out at The Rock, which is where this pic was taken.[/quote]

The caison was bought by Richmond Engine (VOL) in SI around 2001. Before they could put the rig in service, they traded in that and another ALF that was E-70 to help by The new ALF Metropolitan they have now. They got a grant to off set the cost and the trade in helped to bring the cost down some.

The parade is the Thursday following July 4th. About three dozen wounded warriors who are far enough along using their prosthetic arms and legs come up from Walter Reed Army Medical Center and arrive at Rescue 5 in Staten Island about 4:30. They transfer to the engines, come across the Verazanno Bridge, along the Belt Parkway to the Marine Parkway Bridge and into the Rockaways. They meet their host families at one of the yacht clubs and the fire trucks go home.



Here's 343 leaving the qrtrs of E329 after the axes have been attached. Then it's seen turning into the Breezy Pt community followed by a 47 WLF owned by a dispatcher on SI. Then a current issue Seagrave from FDNY E154 and finally an older Mack CF owned by the Metropolitan Fire Assn which is an Explorer post.



The Staten Island engine, E154, is carrying BLESMA (British Limbless ex-Servicemen Assn) members who lost their arms and legs in Afghanistan during the time our forces were engaged in Iraq.
