Cumberland's 1968 CF gets a lot of attention, but CFD's 1950 L-85 is no slouch either, the good news is after 60 years of service, it was donated by the city in 2010 to a local museum group who have already started a CFD history exhibit, hopefully it will ultimately be accessible for viewing. In 2006, the Cumberland chief took me to the Public Works complex to shoot this classic. Although a bit faded, this rig runs smoothly.
An interesting anecdote is that the 68 CF was involved in a accident while responding to a major train wreck in Cumberland,on 9/25/1985, the 50 L-85 took its place at the scene and then ran while the CF was repaired. (The CF had just undergone rehab prior to the accident <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_redface.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> )
This thread is great! Is there a place where I can search the list of all Mack CFs built? I am looking for info on the two Marlborough, MA had. One was a MMA (1972?), the other a pumper (1972). I'd love to find out what happened to either of these, last I saw of them they were sitting on route 1 in Foxboro, MA at a scrap yard / dealer.
Brothers, I posted this under relics and hope someone in the Niagara Falls area might want to save an ols C model Mack I saw sitting in a scrap yard off I-190. Looks like it was the Metropolitan Fire aerial that was once Massapequa or Hicksville, NY. Hopefully the guy is keeping it, but I would hate to see it end the same way that Tarrytown rig did. JMO.
Stay safe, Brothers.
Kill 'em all, let Allah sort 'em out. NEVER forget 9/11/01 WTC, Pentagon, Pa. Avenge the acts with NO mercy.
Thanks to ALL the Brothers who were there 9/11/01 and afterwards. Words can never say what appreciation we have for you all.

That appears to be Engine 6 from the City of Jeanette, Westmoreland County, PA. It served until about 1998 or so from what I can remember.

I already posted this in the member's rig section, but figured I would put it up here as well... I purchased this fine 1982 Mack CF pumper from the Humane Fire Department of Royersford, Pa. It orignally served the Fort Washington Fire Department also of Montgomery County, Pa, I don't have the Mack number or a better picture yet as I haven't quite gotten it home from Royersford (working out storage issues, cetainlly don't want to leave it sitting outside!). It will be coming home to Lake Meade on May 22nd though!
