Yonkers Engine 306-Last Mack CF Ever Produced-Now Back In Yonkers

[TacSupport1]

 

 

Probably a way to get the city bean counters to support its maintenance and storage on city property, held in 'reserve' in case a front line piece has a catastrophic failure, and the other spares are in in use. In other words, everything else would have to break before this would turn a wheel responding to calls again.

 

There's nothing wrong with that to me. However, in a city like Yonkers, it is entirely possible that this rig will be used as a spare or for training, as the 200 series usually are. With no new apparatus in the budget, you're going to see trucks spending more times in the shops. Why get rid of a perfectly good rig that has held up better then the HME/Smeals's with the side benefit of having a storied history besides just being the last Mack?
