Does anyone have pictures of apparatus from Plainfield, NJ? I'm looking for a 1968 Mack CF that they may have bought used in 1978 from a fire company in Maryland. Thanks!

NO longer with Somerset. This was replaced in 2000 with a Seagrave Marion - RESCUE 56. I beleive the rig was reasigned within Somerset Fire District 1 to Millstone Valley. Forget if it was Squad 28 or Air 28. It has since been sold off.

I don't think District One sold it, I saw it at a job in Franklin two weeks ago. I think they call it Squad 28.

Replacement rig from Kentucky. Do they still exist? When I went there to photograph the "new" boom unit about a year ago, they had recently lost funding from the town and things were not looking good for them to be able to stay in operation.

Hummm went to check their website... They show a Pierce Pumper Tanker as Squad 28... I could swear it was sold off 2 or 3 years ago... Have to do some asking around...
