Next up is this Mack Aerialscope which was still serving the Warsaw, NY FD at the time of this picture in 2004. This rig is believed to be ex FDNY, although I'm not positive, and it may still be in service to this day. The last time I saw it was in 2007 and it was still in frontline service then.

And last up for tonight in this thread is this Ford C/ Sanford Engine, which also if you look very closely has a heavy duty foam discharge on top of the rig. This rig formerly served the Scottsville, NY FD and was primarily used as a response engine to the GRIA Airport for the specific use of foam, thus the foam discharge on top of the engine. Hope you all have enjoyed the pics, more to come in the next few days as I find them in my picture archives.

Thanks Andy, I wasn't sure if it was or not, as I haven't been down that way since 2007 in the fall.
