Massachusetts Fire Apparatus - Citywide 231 - 06-10-2007

Many of you saw this at the Lynnfield Show, but due to the weather I couldn't get a decent shot I was happy with so I went over there today.

Drivers side, although it's shadowed.

Looks good! Too bad, I was in the neighborhood today...should have driven by the station. I also never got a decent shot of it yesterday.

Ok Thanks Doug. Would you know what is going (if anything) in the holders on the drivers side above the cmparments?


Massachusetts Fire Apparatus - Citywide 231 - 06-10-2007

No problem. Thats going to be a holder for hoselines, highrise packs I believe. Iam told the chief adopted that idea from DCFD not sure how true that is.

Ok thanks agian this rig looks like it is a darker red then most rigs


Massachusetts Fire Apparatus - Guest - 06-10-2007

Well nothing personal against, any person, department, or manufacturer; but I don't like the look of it.


Massachusetts Fire Apparatus - Guest - 06-10-2007

Does anybody know the manning in Melrose? I know there are three stations but I think that the two outside stations run pumps and the HQ only runs the ladder and private Amb. However I have seen a pump in there is that manned or a reserve?


Massachusetts Fire Apparatus - Guest - 06-10-2007

Well there Front Line Fleet is all Seagrave beside this engien they have a 1999 Seagrave at Engine 3 and will have a new tiller in the few weeks the reserve fleet will be the 1992 E\-One currently engine 2 and the current E\-One ladder.

Personally, i think this is one of the nicest looking rigs in the area. The color is indeed darker, it is an older Seagrave color Iam told. The gold leaf wings and circle around the number are also an older Seagrave thing. Melrose runs a Ladder with 3 or 4 out of HQ, along with a private ambulance. the reserve pumper is kept there. Stations 2 and 3 each have an engine with 3 people assigned.

The lettering seems similar to that I've seen on some old Maxims.

being informed of the nostalgia, it could grow on me.


Massachusetts Fire Apparatus - Guest - 06-10-2007

One of the better looking Seagraves I've seen in a while, the lettering is a nice touch. Are all the rigs in Melrose that shade of red or is this the first one?


Massachusetts Fire Apparatus - Citywide 231 - 06-10-2007

This is the first one, the new tiller is also going to be this scheme.


Massachusetts Fire Apparatus - Guest - 06-11-2007

Nice looking rig. I like the deep dark red.


Massachusetts Fire Apparatus - Guest - 06-11-2007

This rig look's real good in person. Is there any place to park around Melrose's 3 stations.
