But now I'm wondering if my question about the P85 spark the idea for the thread?

Not really. This project has been on the back burner for some time, just finally got to it.

Bergen County (NJ) Fire Academy, Engine 1. Sorry, no info on the truck, I assume it was donated to the academy by a town in Bergen County.

This Ward La France belonged to the Crittenden fire company, Alden, NY. This rig use to be off Broadway in Darien, NY. No idea where it is today.

The Bergen County Fire Academy engine was originally Little Ferry NJ. it was lime before the academy had the good sense to paint it a decent color. I never shot it in LF, even though they border us! now that they finally put the County seal on the door I can go up there and do it there.

Dave,



Since you started this "database", I'm wondering how would you suggest that we catalog the info/photo n the Photo/Pics.



Using Dunkirk's Engine 2 as the example...



I know generally speaking it's (City,State, ID, Year,Make,Model, Pump Size,Tank Size Etc)



Dunkirk, NY E2 1975 WLF Ambassador 1000-500 (Refurbed by RD Murray, 1000-750) (#80-1072)



But I'm wondering like the truck's status (Retired, Reserve, 2nd-3rd Dept)?
