This looks like the Mack CF TL that served in West Islip NY, Deer Park, NY, and I believe originally Wantagh, NY. All 3 departments are on Long Island.

Yes, that tower ladder was originally "Ladder 1" (unit 6911) from Wantagh in Nassau County. later Deer park etc etc

Great photos, thanks for posting !!! Looks like Centre Street. If I am correct, the large limestone building in the background is the original Police Headquarters, before 1 Police Plaza was built.

Allways wondered what the rear light bar on the battalion rugs were all about. What's the story. I know they've been around for awhile ... Different versions.

I believe the current light bars that raise are made by Whelen.
The originals were made by McDermott light bar company. I believe that McDermott may have been an NYPD Highway cop that developed the light bar to provide for better visibility for the NYPD Highway cars. NYPD, NY NJ Port Authority Police and FDNY have all used them, in addtion, you'll see them on Nassau County and Suffolk County, NY Police Highway cars.
The company is located in Ridgewood, Queens.

That is not for ladders it is a tie down and rollers on the roof more then likely for the boats that all the rescue co have. They do have smaller ladders in the back under the bench seat I think a 14 foot roof and an attic ladder.
I think it states this in the info section on the page with the photos of the new rigs.

So are they adding these light bars to the new vehicles for Battalion Chief that are using trucks?

Negative, all they're putting on the rear roof now is a yellow arrow stick.
