Is that pic of Ladder-15's Maxim the one caught under the Vendome collapse?

Skip, All those photos coming up next!
Also, always wondered, whats the story behind the heavy duty tubular bumpers on the older rigs? Almost look like a locomotive "cow catcher"!

Way I heard it told, those are known as 'Bury Bars (as in Roxbury).... they could be used to knock down the fences you always found around the triple deckers to get better access to the fire scene. Don't know if that's an "urban legend", but an old salt Boston FF told me that many moons ago.

Seen it done many times....we at EMS gave the nickname "bully bumpers" to the ones on our trucks.

Do yourself and the wife a favor, take a cab or train. Have no desire to drive in Boston or New York City. Did it once or twice, years back and never again.

On FP a few years ago, was a then-current shot of R2 in a truck lot somewhere in NYS. Looked pretty much intact.
[/quote]
In 2007, it was a bit less than "intact". It was at Northern Fire Apparatus in Watertown NY. The next visit I made up there, it was gone along with most everything else on the lot.
I didn't have my weedwacker with me.

5 years made the memory more optimistic than the fact.
