An earlier version of Dist 6's buggy in front of a 1968 ALF 900 donated to the Boston Fire Museum from the WaterWitch Fire Co in Cecil MD.

Some older BFD equipment. An Amoskeag pumper called "Abe Lincoln" . Horses have been replaced with a Christie Front drive tractor. The harness for the displaced horses hangs from the ceiling.

Steamer connection, reducer and Lowry valve on the back of the steamer.

The picture that the Herald had looks like it's crooked, not bent. Almost looks like it was rammed into the building. Whatever happened, thankfully noone was hurt.

Lots of great pics. Lots of antique pieces! I'm very impressed. Keep'em coming.



Be Safe

They had to call in a flatbed to properly stabilize it for cutting. Ladder 15 is a 2004 Pierce Dash 105 foot RMA (85-90 foot now <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hysterical.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />)

Nope its bent, it the third fly section. Looks like it twisted somehow. Plus 15's Pierce is a medium duty, not a hheavy duty aerial (can tell by the single set of jacks, HD's have two sets).

I read that Ed and it sum's it up pretty well. I too have Pierce's comments on this incident, sent to me.





Althought on a different format about the same.
