Boy, how has the fire service changed. Looking at the new and older rigs together speaks volumes....
Recently, the Jordan Fire Company of Waterford sponsored an antique fire apparatus show called "Sirens on the Sound" featuring not only antiques, or classics, but a few in service rigs as well. Montville showcased their 1942 Dodge power wagon brush truck. Nice mural on the back of Montville's rig Montville also brought this classic iron, an early 1930's vintage GMC/American Lafrance T.W. Lane Fire Company of Mystic brought this classic hand tub. These rigs are very strenuous to operate, and is one of several located in the New London County area. I'm sure OSHA would have to say something about these..... In case you're wondering, the builders plate on the T.W. Lane "masheen". No 27 digit serial number here.... Niantic provided their 1961 Dodge power wagon brush truck, and yes, the brush rakes are chrome plated Finally, Jordan Fire Company's 1923 Model T chemical/hose wagon, outfitted with American Lafrance equipment.
Speaking of Jordan Fire Company, heres a few I shot today as part of Mike Quinn's Fire Fest photo tours.
