Quote:I assume that the FDNY engines don't have booster reels and that is why a lot of them have the small hoses on the front bumpers ran through the tow hooks? Also are the large compartments ( metal ) on the tops of pumpers storage for specialized equipment ? Thanks
The 1986 Mack Ward 79 Engines were the last engines ordered with a booster reel. Every engine ordered after that came with the extended bumper with the space to hold 2 lengths of 1 3/4", used for car fires and rubbish.
The large metal compartments on top of the newer Seagrave rigs is used for storage. Alot of companies carry their cans of foam up there.
The only MARC in 46 ENGINE!
