Ladder 1
2004 Pierce Dash 105' RMA
Not the best shot, but it's the best I could've done.
Of Course just after I left the station Ladder 1 went out on a call.
I didn't even get a chance to get my camera out and zoom it went by me.[/quote]
You aren't the only one who has had that happen to them with that ladder company- I've had it happen to me at least three times over the past six months <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/banghead.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

[quote name='massfirebuff' post='35198' date='Sep 18 2006, 19:10 ']Did you take the Salisbury photos Saturday? I was driving by and saw the rigs on the apron and got a few shots myself. It was an excellent day for photos.
Hey, I didn't notice when I was there, but does anyone know if they still have the solid red 1981 Mack CF or did that go with the arrival of the new engine?[/quote]
Yes I was there Saturday and then went into Boston on Sunday. I think the Mack engine 6 is parked out behind the fire house.

You shouldn't call that a TDA (tractor drawn aerial) because it doesn't have an aerial. Maybe TDCS (tractor drawn city service). lol
Massachusetts Fire Apparatus - Guest - 09-22-2006
You're right (and I should have worn my new glasses and proofread the post)

Here's another photo of Beverly Ladder 1 from a Firestone tire advertisement that I have in my collection.
Bklyn Phil do you happen to have anymore Beverly photos? I've long been seeking a good photo of the Compac Beverly had.
