Are the Mack L's Boston pieces?

They are. Engine 25 is shown with the old John Fitzgerald Expressway in the background. Their former quarters were on Oliver Street about a block from the Expressway before they were disbanded back in 1981-82. Engine 10 appears to be on the "Flat" of Beacon Hill which is where they were quartered until they moved when Engine 25 was closed into their old house.

Thanks, I now see the License plate.

This was marked as FDNY. I will change my photo information.

Funny that FDNY also had very similar rigs! <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/banghead.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Banghead' />

This looks like the 1st of that batch in 1991, new graphics (which were changed to what they have now) and assigned to TL-9 in Manhattan.

I post this last one only because its a former FDNY - I'm told it was used at the training academy as a driver, then as a funeral caisson before being sold to St. Joseph's Abbey in Spencer, MA.

Nope, Howie. This one was purpose built as the HazMat Co-1, It's a 1989 Mack/Saulsbury #MH-8901.

It is the First of that batch. This photo was taken when the rig was shown off at the NJ Fireman's Convention in Wildwood in Sept 1991.

I remember hearing (or reading) a while back that there was a time when the local population in inner city areas were unscrewing the speaker cones while the rigs were on scene - the metal screen was added to prevent that. I don't remember where this info came from, or if it's correct, but hey, it's what I got.
