The sign on it says CMAA Motorsports which is the name of the place where it was located.No idea what they use it for other than a conversation piece.

FDNY sure got some use out of the 2 older Seagraves. I wonder why the 97 Seagrave was salvaged so quickly.

With so many 2008 and 2009 Pumpers delivered, all of the remaining older Seagraves are being disposed of. The spares are mainly 2000's, with a few 1998's. Most of the Reserve Engines are now 1998's, with a lone 1997 mixed in. Most of the remaining 1997's and almost everything older is being disposed of.

It is a 1983 Oren. The truck has 3 different nameplates on it. There is the Oren nameplate on the face of the cab, Duplex nameplates under each jumpseat window, and Grumman nameplates on each side of the hosebody. Additionally we have factory documentation in our records showing it to be a Oren. I know that Grumman had bought both Oren and Howe in the late 1970's or early 1980's. I will say that our 1983 pumper must have been one of the last Orens made before Grumman eliminated the Oren and Howe names. I have a copy of Steve Hagy's 1987 Oren photo album from the Visiting Fireman and he has photos of several 1983 Orens, but nothing past 1983.

Check page 126 of this thread, posts #2514 for more discussion on these. The red Ford C is ex-Saltsburg, PA, the lime Ford C is marked 'Lyme' as far as I can tell, but I have not been able to get a good shot of it.

I am hoping someone might be able to provide some information on a couple of trucks.



This Mack ladder truck from "Dubois" was sitting behind the Pikesville, Maryland VFD in Baltimore County.



I have it as a 1977 Mack CF600 with a 100' Thiabault ladder. CF685FCA with serial number 1895.



Looking for more specific info.



Thanks,

I found this ALF this week at a used car/truck lot in Front Royal, Virginia (just off of I66).



It is "44-90". I believe it may be from New Jersey. Sorry, no other information. Any help is appreciated.

According to the Canadian Fire Truck Archive, it was delivered to DuBois, PA in April 1977. I'm sure some others will have more detailed information.
