We had the rig at E\-One getting a new windsheild and if you look close you will see BLUE on the Officer's side light bar... It was a QUICK FIX after some MAJOR HEAT at a Building Fire on Thursday Night... I wanted the melted bar light left for the parade... OVER RULED! 52-103 is a Ford C/ E\-One. I drive it - Just for get the year. Late 80's or early 90's. Raritan is STILL waiting on its Seagrave Tower Ladder (MACK rehab) Sometime in APRIL we are told. I was on the sidelines this year and down at Main and Division Street... Should have aranged a MEETING for all Fire Pic Members!!! Try for Next Year ? Or a wet down?

Strange seeing a commerical pumper in Somerviile, was there a store to go with this purchase?[/quote] Engine 2 was bought as a RESERVE Engine... it is also a Cascade Unit. Before this engine the Engine that was being repalaced became the "spare". The LAST rig to fill in was a 1969 Hahn (old 3 Engine). The Cascade was on a 1944 Mack that the FD is restoring. So to carry the Air Unit the engine was a No Trills basic buy... GOON can you confirm? I got this from West End Members.

Privately Owned. Either Laweranceville (Mercer) or Lambertville Co 1 (Hunterdon) both use that paint combo.
