[quote name='Andrew2340' post='12370' date='Jul 20 2006, 22:33 ']Can anyone tell me any more about this rig than I know? It's sitting on the bed of a tractor & trailer at a local rock business, but there is no sign of a former chassis in sight. It's an "Amertek" and has the number "DEH-616" in black letters on the back of the body. Hopefully somebody knows more about this truck than I do![/quote]
I would guess that it's an ex-US Army rig based on the "DEH" Number. DEH = Directorate of Engineering and Housing, That's org that the Army Fire Services typically fell under until a few years ago when the Army began to have Base - Directorates of Emergency Services...
Looks like the rear portion of an Amertek Crash/Rescue similar to that run at various Army installations...

[quote name='massfirebuff' post='6747' date='Jul 10 2006, 07:34 ']Thanks for the info, and the Excellent photo too. I think way back, early 80's both Ford C's were running out of that station by 128, the Continental as Engine 4 and the E\-One as Engine 3. I think this truck was reapinted solid red in the late 80's or so. I also think the E\-One was originally lime as and was repainted solid red as well.
I remember being at the station dedication in 1996? and at the time The Ford/E-One was solid red, assigned to engine 3. But as I recall the delivery of the 75 ft Quint put the E\-One into reserve as Engine 4, at which time former engine 4 (Continental) was disposed of. Of course I could be wrong working a 3rd shift job is turning my brain to mush. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' />[/quote]Hey guys,
Howie, I think we spoke on this subject the other day... maybe I can add some more info. The Continental, which showed up around '79 was yellow (as in your pic) and was rehabbed mid '80s when she became E4. Most of the time our reserve piece was stored in the back of old HQ on Locust St. That's where she was when I came on way back when <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' /> The E One was more of a lime yellow/green that massfirebuff remembers. I can remember a lot of friends of mine always asking about the "green" firetruck ... This rig was rehabbed in the early '90s, when it too received a fine red paint job. This rig was the sharper of the two, however the Continental's power plant was far stronger (though both were Cat 3208s) and I believe had fewer mechanical issues. I worked on both early in my career and I recall the E One's siren going on the blink every time the truck got wet!
Stay Safe!

Yup, thats what I remember exactly...the continental when it was Engine 4 sitting behind the squad at Headquarters. I remember the E\-One so well when it was engine 3 because it was over here in Beverly so often for mutual aid. Plus it's color made it stick out at any fire scene because by the late 80's or so lime/green/yellow were a thing of the past. In fact that may be the last non-red rig delivered on the northshore.
Thanks for the insight on both rigs. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

This is the last non-red rig placed in service on the Northshore:

And this one is the last non-red rig delivered, so far. Not in service yet, but soon.

As a past member of the team, yes I do know what they did. The three main responsibilities were:
1. High Angle Tactical Rescue
2. Confined Space
3. Swiftwater Rescue
Basically, anything that had to do with rope! Our other speciality was we were the first team, along with a couple of members from Anne Arundle County, to be the Washington DC H.E.A.T. team. We trained with the Maryland State Police and the U.S. Park Police for insertions by helicopter into remote wilderness areas, as well as being placed on roof tops of highrises for supression operations.
One of of our members has had past equipment donated to Peru. I heard a rumor that the SETT truck may go to New Zealand...or something, I'm not quite sure.

Found this old rig sitting just off US-23 in Michigan North of Toledo Ohio. Anybody know anything about it. I know that it is a Mack MB.
Relics - ddoyle195 - 07-30-2006
I took as many pics of this one as I could. For you Ward La France fans this would be a project for you. This I found in a scrapyard off of Ransom Rd. in Lancaster, NY. This truck served the Seneca Hose fire company in West
Seneca, NY. I don't have any further info on this rig and I was hoping some of you might be able to help.
