This old Ford is still owned by Orwell. It was a pumper at one time now used as a Parade truck.

The Parish Fire Department ran this 41 Chevy/ALF as 2031. I could have sworn I had a better picture of than this. Oh well, it sits across the street from my house I'll have to walk over and take another sometime, in fact the grey ranch in the background is mine.

While not a very good picture. This has been the best shot I have been able to get of a Ex-Redfield GMC/FAE that ran as unit 2431. It sits in a lot north of Richland NY, for several years. If anything they stack more stuff in the lot to where you can hardly tell that it still there.

This Ford/? rescue was found sitting behind the West Amboy Fire House and had Redfield lettering on it at one time. It is also a ex-Westmoreland NY truck. i don't ever recall iot being in service with either department.

This neat old Ford/? ran as 2471, Note the siren on the front of the rig, the only way this would fit in their old station was to turn it sideways, not that you would need a siren in Redfield anyways! It is in private hands now, and for this vintage, it is as solid of a Ford as I seen in this area.

Richland NY ran this Ford/Young as 1541. I got this picture when it sat out behind there firehouse, looks like it had some pump problems. I got this has being a 1978 and sported a rare for then top mount pump panel. The truck has been gone for sometime.

Sandy Creek Ny runs this 1957 Ward 750 GPM pumper as a parade truck. This is a great old truck, one of my favorites

Sandy Creek recently took this Ward out of service and was for sale as of last fall, no word if it sold. I posted this a week or two back now I think about it.

Found some more oldies in my archives. First up is this Seagrave Ladder which served the Canajoharie,NY FD as 1, or 209. It has two numbers on it, so I'm not sure if one is the dept numbering system, and the other is the county system, or how that works. Not sure if it's still in service or not, but looked to be at the time of this 2006 picture.

Here is a front view of the Seagrave Ladder from Canajoharie.

Next up is this Maxim Engine which was still serving the Watervliet,NY FD as Engine-5 at the time of this 2006 picture.

And last for now is an officers side view of the Watervliet Engine-5. Not sure if this rig is still in service or not, but at the time it was in good shape.

Phoenix uses this 1942 Mack as a parade truck. It was a Goverment suplus piece that they have owned since just after WW II. As the story goes is was army green when they took delivery of it. it also had a white with blue and red stripe paint job in the 70's

This 41-47 Chevy/? is still owned by the Williamstown Fire Department. I'm sure it's not original to Williamstown, as they often bought used pumpers up till the late 90's. I'm not sure of the previous owners. That is it for the oldies of Oswego County
