' /> There I go again, shooting off my yapper before I get the facts straight! The 1963 FWD/Pitman Snorkel had Towers bodywork. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/banghead.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' />The Mack R pumpers all went to reserve when the new quints arrived in 1987. I photographed one when I visited in 1988, in reserve at one of the airport stations.
There were two of the Mack CF/EVF heavy rescues. One was recently posted in the Mack Fire Apparatus thread, post 592, at it's second home, Boring, MD.

' /> You must be having a bad weekend because I gotcha!The Mack CF/EVF rescue at Boring,MD., originally was at Bowley's Quarters,MD. in Baltimore Co., and it was a 1983.
An x-ST. Louis Seagrave/Marion rescue did go to Blades,DEL., and I believe is now with Greenbackville,VA.

Crash 43 was this 1966 Oshkosh 1000/1800 with 200 PR? and 10-Gals CB. I'm trying to read what Duane has listed for each of these airport rigs and I'm having trouble deciphering Duane's abbreviations.

Maybe 200 PK (For Purple K extinguishing agent).
Just a thought.
