Shot after the high-side compartments and 'squad 51' lightbar were added. This was sometime around 1995, and I was most likely one of the crew that day. The deck gun from this rig now rides atop my Mack.



Somewhere I have an aerial shot from the bucket of Peabody's tower at the same muster. We fed their ladder pipe in exchange for a ride.



This truck was sold to a local farmer in 2000. He forgot to drain it the first winter, shattered the tank and plumbing, and then scrapped it. What a shame. Although not my favorite rig, I was there the day she was delivered and I was there the day she retired, so I have a bit of an attachment.[/quote]



I am 99% positive that I was the operator of TL2 that day.

In terms of the Brockton fire Department, why are some of the engines lettered as combinations?

Small world, eh? That would've been about 4 years before I met you. (Guess that means I met you 4 years earlier than I thought? <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dry.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='<_<' /> )

for resq1ff --- the city of brockton ran 2 piece engine companies until the mid 1980's the "hose wagons" from the 1920's thru 1979 or so were originally called a combination they had a small 250 gpm booster pump and responded as a single piece on still alarms in their 1st due district usually running w/ 1 officer and 2 or 3 ff's the "engine" would only respond on box alarms and ran with the pump operator only. in 1979 thru 1986 engine co's 1,2,3and 5 ran the mack cf 1000 gpm with both rigs and ran with the same manpower arrangement, the last company to lose the 2nd piece was engine co 5 in 1986. i hope this explains it good for you.

[Guest]

to help confuse you guys even more i've added pic's of the combinations and some of the other mack cf's that ran as spares in the city. the first 2 are comb 5 1959 ford Seagrave comb 3 ran a twin to it, and comb 2 a 1956 segrave
