This Mack/Bean Engine served at the Hancock,NY FD as well. I'm sure it has probably been replaced by now as well, as these pics were taken in 2004.

This 1970 Chevrolet/Bean brush truck is still used by the Ontario,NY FD. It still serves as a brush unit, and is also used by the fire police for traffic control at incident scenes.

This Ford C/ Young engine formerly served the Ontario,NY FD, and was replaced in 2004 by one of the last Saulsbury rescue/engines to leave the assembly line at the Tully,NY facility.

Rumour has it this rig was sold to Red Creek, NY FD and was repainted in their white color scheme, but I haven't been up there to find out yet.

This ALF engine formerly served the Buffalo,NY FD as a CD rig.

Here's a side view of the former Buffalo ALF CD rig.

This GMC/???? formerly served the Clarendon,NY FD. It is still used for parades. That's it for now, hope you all have enjoyed the pics so far, I'm going through many of my older pics, and sorting them out to see what I've got, so I'll be posting more as I dig them up.

[quote name='matchot' post='277768' date='Jan 30 2009, 03:35 ']This interesting Chevrolet/Young formerly served the Port Byron, NY FD. When I took this pic in 2004 at the Weedsport,NY Parade it was still owned by the FD, but I don't know if they still own it today or not. GA Dave should have the serial numbers for this rig I'm sure, as I can't find my notes on it right now, they are buried in a box in the closet.[/quote]
I shot the same truck at the Hannibal Parade in in 2006. All indications from the department is that it would never leave Port Byron. I didn't take any notes has I drove one of our trucks in the parade and wanted to get pictures of all the trucks before the parade. Great shot of a pretty truck!

The Indian Falls GMC appears to be a 4Guys product.
The Owasco FD still runs the ALF pictured above.
Utica has scrapped the ALF pictured above, it was one of twins, prior to receiving stripes, it has been parted out to keep the other going.

I believe it's a 1979 Century 1250/500 that was built with a ladderless 50' Telesqurt. It served as Engine 13 until that company was disbanded. The Telesqurt was removed and, last I knew, was still sitting up against the wall at the shops. The four door enclosure was added at that time and it was reassigned as CD-2. I've posted shots of it as Engine 13 before.

If you look it still has the outriggers on the back from the telesqurt.

It was sold to Red Creek, and has since been replaced (I'm not sure with what) by an AFG , Tis rig was sold to a private individual as persuant to the AFG rules.

Yup. 1967 and 1968 Chevy pickups are the same except for the federally-mandated large rear window and side marker lights on the '68s.

Grab hold of your seats everyone, I know something GADAVE didn't. Buffalo 13 did originally have a ladder on the squirt, I do not know what happened to it, but I do have a bw shot with it on. I will dig it out tomorrow.

I was told that it was built without a ladder because it was intended to be a replacement for the Command Tower that 13 had previously. The Union resisted having any "ladder" on an Engine Company. It was only to be used as an aerial master stream, just like the 35' Telesqurts at Engines 18 and 37.

Thanks for the correction Steve. My notes are currently buried in a box in the closet, and after I posted it I kinda thought it was a 68 but wasn't quite sure without my notes handy. Thanks again.
