The Mack came in red. It went from Truck 8 to Truck 9. Heard it had an issue with going under a train track near Route 21. Came back repainted Lime with the red lettering and stripe.

Looks like this was taken at the annual Boonton Fire Department Parade usually held on Saturday of Labor Day weekend for the past 100+ years. In the background is Boonton Chrysler Plymouth which moved to heavily travelled NJ Route 23 in Butler in the 1990's adding Jeep. Anyone who has a chance to get to that parade it starts at 1:30 pm in the afternoon but in the event of rain it is rescheduled for Labor Day Monday at noon, a really good parade with a lot of apparatus and many marching fire companies most of them bringing bands or drum corps to march behind.

As a point of interest, this pumper, after it was refurbed, was used in the the Rescue Me series and also was utilized as a flower car for FDNY funerals in Rockland & Orange counties after 9/11. This was due to the severe apparatus shortage after the WTC attack. It is owned privately.
