Relics - Bob-Ont - 09-04-2007
Shot of opportunity. Found abandoned in the bush in northern Alberta.
Unknown which department this rig served in (name decal was stripped off). No Serial number plate. A temporary permit was visible in the cab but I didn’t climb in to check it out as I didn’t want to get a load of “00” buck shot up the behind.
Ford/Superior Super Vision.

HERE IS AN OLD LADDER I FOUND ON RT-113 IN MADISON NH (CONWAY AREA). IT'S IN REALLY BAD SHAPE COMPLETELY RUSTED AND READY TO TURN TO DUST, I THINK IT'S A Seagrave? NOT SURE,CANT TELL WHERE IT CAME FROM EITHER.

Cosgrove,
Where in NC did you find those rigs? I'd love to shoot that Mack E sometime! And jughead, I do believe you found a "waterfall-grill" Seagrave.

Sorry, Andrew, that's a "Sweetheart" grille Seagrave. Check out this page:

I found this one over the weekend at Boothbay Railway Village. [url="http://www.railwayvillage.org/"]http://www.railwayvillage.org/[/url] While still a Relic, it's not as bad a fate as some. It seems to be regularly painted, and it's truly loved by the kids.
I had it pegged for a 1930's Seagrave; then I discovered the hood was not painted shut. I found a BIG crack in the heads; it'll never run again. I also found the serial plate; it's S/N 78335 built 12/10/34. No indentifying marks, but most of the museum's apparatus came from either Boothbay, Boothbay Harbor, or Southport.

The firehouse in the background housed a 1929 Chevy/local CST from Boothbay Harbor and a 1925 "Cosmopolitan" from Southport. (Looked like a mis-identified ALF, as it said Cosmopolitan across an ALF-like logo on the nose. I know Cosmopolitan was sometimes used as an ALF model name.) Both were in better, but unrestored, condition.
I was shooting film, with no flash and a 50mm fixed lens. I had no chance of shooting the indoor rigs, and they were protected behind chicken wire anyway.
Note that in addition to anything sharp, the Seagrave also appears to be missing major pump components.

D'oh! I shoulda knew that! Dave, when are you going to hammer all this information into my head? Hopefully soon!

I found this sitting in a parking lot in Chesnee SC. It had Matthews FD and I believe it had a number 4 on it.

Jon U. and I stumbled across that several years ago, sitting in the same town. I believe it came from Matthews, VA. It's an M-530A.

Fast work, Mike -- and a Tip O' the Hat to Frank B. The book Forest City Fire Log lists this apparatus as Rockford's first crew cab.

...and the ALF rig sitting next to it - prehaps a tiller cab from Hudson, NH. This thing must have been a sweetheart in its heyday, would love to see an in service photo. Looks like there was another town name under the Hudson on the hood that started with an M.

That Ex. Milton rig looks like a Young or a Sanford. Is someone selling those rigs or are they just there on the side of Rt. 98?
