Relics
Thanks, Doc. I need the suction rack, and if i can get it the keep back 200 foot sign on the back of the Mack from ITE. Will go upstate NY to get my bumper. And maybe see if L & T will sell me the light bar on the ALF.



Whats the going price on a Q2B? I may be selling the one I have on my Mack.
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.

They are British made, so not a popular rig here.[/quote]



Memories......



I forgot what yar it was, at least 1977 if not earleir when my father and I were dropping off my aunt at JKF Airport when we noticed a car on fire as we were walking to the terminal. 2 minutes later here comes this big Pathfinder

into the parking lot and opens up on the car with its deck run. Made quick hisotry of the fire.

The Dark Maroon Mack Cab from Interstates lot appears to be a cab off of an old Oakmont, PA. in Allegheny County Mack. The department had a Mack CF Engine, and Tower. The Tower was refurbished by ITE in 2001. Maybe a new cab was placed on the tower.

3/4 view, this was replaced in spring of 2006, slowly rusting away; does the guy up in N.Y. State need a neat early snorkel for his collection/museum?

[quote name='1949ALF' post='166601' date='Nov 25 2007, 12:33 ']This International/American isn't quite a relic, it belongs to a collector. It's located just off of US-31 in Crothersville, Indiana. The front-mount pump is in the hose bed.

That is a 1955 IHC R/American 500/500 that served as Newberry IN's only engine from 1990-2000. It originally served Roachdale IN. I was told a couple of years ago that it went to a local farmer.

[quote name='Dr. Stinebaugh' post='166409' date='Nov 24 2007, 21:30 ']According to the elusive Frank Wegloski, this was a x- Port Authority of NY -Newark Airport piece. The Martin Co.,IND. Fire/Rescue somehow obtained the 1980 Chubb "Pathfinder" 2300/3600 rig to serve as a tanker and was still using it as late as 2003. You have to wonder about its road worthiness, since Martin County, Indiana is very rural, with hilly terrain...[/quote]

The reason they used it for a tanker is because they got it dirt cheap(from a guy in the Cincy area), and it carries plenty of water. It's been OOS now for the better part of 3 years. First it was a cracked block and then electrical problems. My guess would be that it will never be in service again! And yes I am a bit elusive Doc! Just not enought time in the day to be on the computer anywheres near as much as I used to.

[quote name='1949ALF' post='166401' date='Nov 24 2007, 21:07 ']This one migrated from the car dealer in Franklin to another car dealer in Bedford. Quite a little ride for an older truck. For the time being, it can be found on US-50 near the edge of town.

This one looks an awful lot like the one Sugar Creek Twp, on Indy's eastside, had. It was OOS whenever I tried to shoot it though.

[quote name='bcfd424' post='158398' date='Oct 25 2007, 19:01 ']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.[/quote]

That first one is from Rocky Hill CT. It's a 1949 85ft'er that they bought from Hartford CT in 1984. Why I'm not sure, because they already had a Sutphen tower and Maxim MM. It lasted at Rocky Hill until 1990, and I was told it was sold the FD in North Coventry CT.

if that in fact IS Truck 3 from Rocky Hill....they've removed the white cab enclosure. it was obtained by Rocky Hill to be used as a spare truck. upon disposal it was donated to the fire museum at the trolley museum in East Windsor, Ct. it was on Ebay sometime in the last couple of years.



Rocky Hill now has thre front line trucks....a Sutphen 100' mid-mount stick, a Pierce 95' mid-mount tower and a Pierce 105' rear-mount stick.

Found at the Franklin County, PA. Training Center back in late Sept.2007, this carcass is allegedly the remains of a 1968 Ward LaFrance Ambassador 1250/350, originally West York,PA., and then many years at the York Co. Training Center. It seems to have been operable, but since the training center now has a 77 Mack CF from Mt. Union,PA., the future looks bleak for this critter.

I stand corrected; this is a 1964 1000/500 WLF Ambassador originally Emigsville,PA. E24-2 until 1988 when wrecked and then sent to York Co. Training Center. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_redface.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Icon_redface' />

Thanks, Frank. It now belongs to a member of the Derby City Fire Apparatus group and has since at least 2006.
