I am not sure where this truck served originally. Fairville only organized their department in the 50's or 60's, so it is not original to them.

The working end of some older tankers from Oswego County. In the foreground a ex-West Monroe 3352 and in the background Is a still in service New Haven Tanker.
Next is a Ex-Cleveland, ex-Williamstown tanker and a yet unknown pumper. I can't for the life of me remember whose it was. I e-mailed a picture to a friend of mind that is an instuctor for the county. He may recall who's it belonged to.

The Seagrave pumper belong to the Parish Fire Dept ( Oswego Co ) they owned only a short time. They bought it from the Howlett hill Fire dept in Onondaga Co. The tanker shown ended being sold to a dept in Tennessee.
Next up is a 84 Ford/Sanford that ran with the Altmar Fire Department. I not sure where this ended up next, who ever it was got the cleanest 22 year old Sanford that came from this part of the county.

It kinda looks like it could be either a Scriba FD vehicle, or a City of Oswego FD unit judging by the color of the engine.
Nest is a series of three pictures of a late 40's early 50's GMC/? tanker from the Henderson Fire Dept. I could not find anything on the body to give the manufacturer away. Anyone have a clue?
A rear view of the Henderson GMC. The truck sits on NYS Rt3, just north of Southwicks State Park at a convenience store. The owner of the store has a make shift memorial to our soldiers out back of the store, with a old Military tank and helicopter.

It was a Parish unit that they had for a short time, it came from Howlett Hill.
While still in service, this early 60's Ford/American ( I think) was Hastings first new truck. It survived three paint schemes red to lime yellow back to red. In service as unit 1171, this old girl is a workhorse on brush fires.
Next up is the first truck that Hastings had in service, 1927 Brockway. It was bought used, but I not sure where from. It makes its way to a parade or two each yeear and to the Parish VFD car show every year.
