Relics
[quote name='marco17' post='157524' date='Oct 21 2007, 22:05 ']Hey guys, maybe this has been asked before, but how does Baltimore dispose of their surplus apparatus? Auction, dealer, scrap it? Just curious since many municipalities seem to have a different method when it comes to disposition. Thanks.[/quote]



Usually from what I hear I think these days, the city puts the old rigs in the junkyard for about a month or so and then I think at the end of every month they auction them off, but I don't know if that is how it definitely works.

Cosgrove,



You also shot some old relics in North Carolina a while back. Where did you find those at in NC?

I found these two sitting at a house beside the Riverview FD just outside of Fort Mill, SC yesterday. First up is this American LaFrance 85' Midmount lettered for Rock Hill Truck 3. Didn't get any info off the trucks as they were sitting in the driveway.

The next one is in a little worse shape. It was lettered for possibly Bissell Companies.

Quote:Unknown Maxim......very sad shape. Pictures were sent courtesy of Rob Kemp in Nova Scotia, Canada. He found this truck in the lot of a construction company. Would anyone possibly have any idea where this truck originated from?



Wow, I knew that there was a 1958 Maxim from Jackson Township, OH that was sold to a department in Canada, but this is clearly not the same truck. This is early to mid 1950's vintage. If someone had a SN I could tell you where it came from. Without, its pretty difficult. I found nothing in my database under a Novia Scotia or Canada search.



Also interesting to see the Vienna/Nanjemoy rig. I had it in my records that it was sold to a collector in 1995. Hope he does something respectful with that one of a kind 1951 Ford-Maxim. There are two photos of this rig while in service on my Maxim website.

The Ford is in a tractor shed and a tree is growing infront of it. I know the guy that has it but I don't think he is ever gonna do anything with it. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Sad' />

They never found the starter for the Seagrave. I think it went by the wayside again.



If anyone knows where to find a gear driven starter for a 1932 Seagrave, our department antiue needs one!

Abington had 2 which are possibilities

a 1941 A9925 which the painters record ends right before this one

a 1948 D6250 which was a model 66 with a 750 GPM pump

This strictly a SWAG, but my FD used to have a '49 with this nose on it. Would the '41 still be a 'sweetheart' grille? What year did they end anyway? I'm guessing this is the '48.
