8722 was replaced in 1999 by a 93' LTI midmount tower ladder on a 10 man spartan chassis. 8722, at least the ladder portion, now resides in Hilton Head SC. The compartments have been refurbed and a ALF tractor is now pulling the aerial. I can say having been on a number of runs on the old 8722 that there truly was no other truck like it.

Big Moose (Herkimer County NY) recently retired this 1963 Chevy/Sanford pumper. It is now offered for sale.

Here are three "oldies" in action, from Old Forge (Herkimer Co., NY). An unknown IH rescue, a 1965 Ford/Sanford pumper, and a Ford/Blitz Buggy, locally built in the hamlet of Old Forge.

Old Forge NY also ran this FWD pumper, originally it served in Kings Park NY, and was retired a couple of years ago by Racquette Lake (Hamilton Co., NY).

Another photo off the Old Forge FD bulletin board was of this "Snow-Cat". Marked as Rescue 1, it was a early version of a rescue sled, which are now usually snowmobiles. Old Forge is a tourist area and is a sort of a winter "playground" with tons of snowmobilers hitting the trails....and unfortunately hitting trees.

What a great old truck, it looks like it is in great shape! For Sale huh, too bad it won't fit in my garage! One unusual feature on this truck is the 4 lengths of hard suction on the side. In most cases you will find only 2 or 3!

You need a shot of Jeffersonville's antique from the 1930's. It's got a garden hose size discharge that looks like part of the pump but can really be connected to a keg of beer. I've seen it at the Port Jervis parade and have imbibed in some of the brew a few times thanks to the very hospitable guys from Jeffersonville.
