Some older BFD equipment. An Amoskeag pumper called "Abe Lincoln" . Horses have been replaced with a Christie Front drive tractor. The harness for the displaced horses hangs from the ceiling.

The picture that the Herald had looks like it's crooked, not bent. Almost looks like it was rammed into the building. Whatever happened, thankfully noone was hurt.

Lots of great pics. Lots of antique pieces! I'm very impressed. Keep'em coming.
Be Safe

[quote name='edburke' post='79571' date='Feb 21 2007, 19:40 ']I only know what I saw on the news, which was Rescue 1 cutting the aerial. The story is pretty much what thtalking head said verbatim. They had to call in a flatbed to properly stabilize it for cutting. Ladder 15 is a 2004 Pierce Dash 105 foot RMA (85-90 foot now <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hysterical.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

Nope its bent, it the third fly section. Looks like it twisted somehow. Plus 15's Pierce is a medium duty, not a hheavy duty aerial (can tell by the single set of jacks, HD's have two sets).

Althought on a different format about the same.
